The dairy industry in Canada right now is quite strong and quite vibrant. Certainly the strength and the vibrancy of the industry are buttressed or supported by the diversity across both the production and the processing chain in the country. We have a great mix in the industry of co-operative-based farms and processors, as well as some that are privately owned. In our particular case of co-operatives, the money that our members are prepared to invest in the continued health of the industry is quite important to help us deal with the challenges that any future trade programs or trade agreements may bring to the industry.
