I think it has a direct connection to what we're talking about today in terms of business risk management tools broadly, incentives and disincentives.
The cattle industry is in a pivotal time. We need to encourage the next generation of ranchers and beef farmers across Canada to come back to the farm. We really lost a generation after the BSE crisis. It has even increased the need to have youth come back.
When talking about Mercosur, what signal does it send to our young producers now if we're introducing new market access to South American countries that, quite simply, do not produce the same product at the same standard that we do here in Canada? Unequivocally, it represents a big risk from an animal disease standpoint. Also, what is the signal you're sending to the next generation in this context?
Unequivocally, we can't have new market access for South America. If you want to grow the herd, let the market decide, and we are. We're growing it. We grew it by 2.5% last year, in 2025. The expectation is that we'll continue to grow and invest if we have certainty.
