I guess I would just.... The thought was that we end up with heavily subsidized offshore product coming into Canada, and it really displaces Canadian product that should be available within the borders of our country. All of this is about food security, really, for the entire country, be it even what Ms. Stafford is talking about: fruits and vegetables grown locally. If we're not going to get our produce out of California, where is it going to come from? I think we have to look at small processors and large processors to really provide food security, perhaps even income security, for our own country.
