Farmers are always price-takers. We're not price-makers. We can't negotiate the prices that we receive for our product in the majority of agriculture in Canada. Of course, the supply-managed sector is different.
What we see, when it comes to this kind of legislation, is there are such big supply chains that are affected. Something like a port or a railroad takes a long time to recover from a strike, and it takes a long time to unwind the backlog that occurs during a strike. The Canadian grain monitor, Quorum, suggests that for every day of a strike, it takes a week to unwind that at the port, so with a 14-day strike, we can lose up to a quarter of our shipping season because of that, and that backlogs all the way to the economic reality on Canadian farms, where if we can't ship, we can't pay. We don't get paid.
I think that's where we see the idea, in this legislation, that we want an exemption to ensure that Canadian products move. At the same time, let's realize that this is food, and it's food security not only for Canada, but for our international customers as well.
