Thank you.

We know that front-of-pack labelling is going to cost $8 billion. We heard you say earlier that the new P2 plastics ban is also going to add costs to farmers.

I'm wondering, Mr. Janzen, if you can speak to that. We've heard that the new P2 plastics ban is going to cost upwards of $6 billion. You mentioned the PLU stickers. What will this do to food costs, availability and waste?
