As Mr. Verret was saying, pork producers, people from the industry and from the federation, came together this summer. The industry was facing a problem. Yes, cash is needed in the short term, but really, pork producers are wondering if the industry has a future. Financial assistance is needed, but we also need to ask some serious questions about the future of pork production. If structural changes need to be made after that, we will have the tools to do so. Producers are wondering if they should continue producing.
