Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the witnesses who are with us.

We understand the concerns raised by Mr. MacGregor, particularly with respect to the lack of processing capacity, as well as the other concerns that have been raised.

Mr. Roy, you talk about market diversification, and I agree with that, but how can we take advantage of those markets if we don't have the processing capacity? Do we have to go to other markets if there is no room for our processing sector to grow?
