Madam, the hog industry is very cyclical. Right now, we are in a slump. We alluded to the labour issue. The pandemic, which made recruitment extremely difficult, prevented us from minimizing the impact of the situation, including the loss of the China market.
As for possible avenues in the industry, I would say that Olymel has not decided to withdraw from the sector, but rather to refocus its activities on a volume that is more in line with our ability to add value to the product, either through our meat processing sector, or on value-added markets such as Japan and Korea, or on our domestic fresh meat market. For us, this is a refocusing, coupled with a withdrawal. Despite this, we will continue to play an extremely important role in our industry across Canada. The choice that has been made is to protect us from an unfavourable cycle.
