If I might just add to that, both Diane and I were recently involved in an initiative being led by the agri-food institute to bring the four departments--Public Health Agency, Health Canada, Agriculture Canada, and the CFIA--together to talk about how we can change food policy and at the same time benefit our agriculture policy. We need that sort of coming together of the various interests. There are going to be a lot of issues around that table, but if that discussion moves forward, it will have the potential to bring all the players to the table who need to be there.
