Thank you very much.

You also touched on grade 2 and processing vegetables. I have a number of vegetable processors in my riding, we do a lot of field crops. I'm wondering if you could touch a bit more on that, because what I've heard from my processors is the biggest challenge is still labour; it's not actually getting the product, it's labour. With more farms potentially going out of business, they are going to have a hard time finding products, so I'm wondering if you could touch on that.
