As I understand the question, it's with regard to whether our position has changed with research.
Actually, no, it hasn't. Research is only part of the equation when we have something like the current food safety incidents. What we asked for was long-term continued investments. Food safety is one of our core areas and one of our top priorities as an industry.
We need continuity in investments. These things don't go away; they evolve. Bacteria change, so there needs to be ongoing examination and investment. We also we need to have what I would call a fire station capacity when an issue arises. In order to attract research capacity in food safety and agriculture, researchers need to see continuity of funding. It's a competitive world. If they have a good research program going and after three years there is uncertainty and a two-year gap, they'll leave and go somewhere else.
I can't speak to whether it would have helped this issue, because research is a long-term thing. It is important to address the issues and to have the people available to help us in the long term.
