I would just like to concur with Dawn on the costs of the program for producers. One of the issues around incentives in the lamb industry is that right now we have such a shortage of Canadian lamb on the market that you can pretty much sell whatever you produce. If nobody is demanding that a producer be on a food safety program and, therefore, be willing to pay for it, there's no incentive for producers to be there.
