Thank you for your question.
The key we're looking at here again comes back to a series of strategies that I noted. One is ensuring that we have access to the appropriate labour pool that we can effectively produce and process the products domestically. The challenge relative to selling into the U.S. comes into the added cost of logistics and transportation, and also looking at the market conditions for commodity pricing at the time the product is sold, which will fluctuate.
We've already heard some key pieces around Ontario and Canada. When we start looking at the other opportunities for growth in Ontario, when we start looking at key pieces around automation and innovation, it's perhaps the greatest opportunity we have, because if we can't find labour and we need to start moving down the path of increased automation and/or innovation around the production line, as we heard Mr. Johnstone talk about, it's the speed of the line and how it's operating and other tools that we can drive within that line. It is a labour gap of moving the product through, even at an increased speed with fewer workers, unfortunately, to try to meet the demand of the product in the market at a lower cost.
We are dealing with a competitive environment that requires our finding the most efficient model of producing, processing and shipping the product to its destination. Unfortunately on a global level other countries have implemented strategies including low-cost labour in some cases. In other cases it's incentives and support to their processing sector to enable them to be successful through their tax model, and through their corporate structure to enable them to structure their business to have an incentive to even be in existence within the country.
