I think Canada has an ability to maintain the quality reputation that we have as long as there is an ability to provide producers with sufficient money for doing what they're doing.
We have a problem in doing that. Whether or not we have a Canadian Wheat Board, whether or not we have a Canadian Grain Commission, we have a problem in getting sufficient money for producers.
The Canadian Wheat Board can offer producers some power in the marketplace. The Canadian Grain Commission can maintain the ability to work with the quality, and we can continue to provide that to an international marketplace.
A real issue when it comes to trade I think is dealing with the marketplace and the values in that marketplace. When we talk about competition or competing in that international marketplace, we really have to look at a disadvantage Canada has, whether we have a Canadian Wheat Board or we don't, and this is the fact that Canadian grain producers, Canadian wheat producers, canola producers--take any one of them--are effectively competing with producers across the line that continue to produce product even if the commodity value goes to zero. That's what the U.S. Farm Bill provides them.
Absolutely, we have some tools we can use. We have them right now. It will present some different challenges if that system collapses. Our ultimate objective in trade, though, is to bring sufficient dollars into the producer's pocket to be able to maintain reputation, maintain quality, and have a reliable trading system in the world.
