The food processing sector in Canada is very diverse. There's certainly a lot of areas in terms of where we need to attract global high-skilled talent, and many of the manufacturing sectors that you're investigating require that. Also, the food processing sector has the meat processing sector, and there's a huge shortage for what we call butchers or meat cutters. They are tremendously important to the growth of the meat processing sector. Canada signs international trade agreements. We get market access. We need to grow the meat processing sector and we need to have those types of skilled labour. Maybe it's not considered skilled from a Canadian sense, but it's certainly important for the meat processing sector.
