Research is based on having lots of locations to make sure that what we're developing is suited for all of Canada. Lacombe is a unique site in that it has a deep black soil zone. It is also a hub of pathology research for the registration trials, as well as across Canada. That program is uniquely situated in Alberta because we have higher levels of disease. It is different in Ontario, or even in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Losing this network across Canada is going to restrict us in how the diseases we can get in our new varieties are available. We have to make sure the diseases we're looking at are adequately shown in the disease nurseries across Canada. You can't do them all in one location or one province, so the network is critical to what we do.
