That's an excellent question and certainly something that's topical in both Canada and the United States, and that is the role of the voluntary recall.
It's important to recognize that what is referred to as a “voluntary recall” by a regulator and an operator is so in name only. The reality is that if what's required under the form of a voluntary recall is not completed expeditiously, the voluntary recall will become a mandatory recall in extraordinarily short order. And everybody in the industry knows that's the case. Whereas the word “voluntary” is used ubiquitously in the United States and in Canada, the reality is there are mandatory undertones and requirements that everybody knows exist.
That being said, what Maple Leaf did last year went well above and beyond what would have been a voluntary or mandatory requirement. Industry is required to recall product that is proven to be contaminated. That's what is required of any industry anywhere in the world--recalling the product that you know to be contaminated. We voluntarily went above and beyond that. That's not to say that the mandatory recall wouldn't have been sufficient. It may or may not have been. But we chose, for reasons that were important to us and our public trust, to recall all 198 products from that facility, even though only a very small handful were proven to be contaminated. It was that extra precaution that no government, that we're aware of, or regulatory framework would have absolutely required.
I'm not sure if that distinction is helpful.
