You know, it's my belief--I'm going to change back to more of the style around our Washington trip--that a good negotiation is one where you deal from a position of either strength or knowledge.
Mr. Preugschas, I appreciated your talking points, the seven deadly steps to being effective with these folks, but what would be helpful in this kind of dialogue is if we could be specific in terms of sources.
You indicated in here that “agriculture research analysts estimate”. You gave some good statistics in this, but if we could cite the source, we could say, “This is where this comes from”, so that it's very credible. I would say that from the standpoint of beef as well. Help us be as credible as we can be with very specific sources for your information. That would help us.
One thing I would say is that whenever I've been involved in a negotiation, the question they'll ask on the other side is what's in it for them. Of course, in dealing with the Americans, we know it's clearly going to be that. So part of it is education. But also, there's our lost market potential, and their loss in the United States because we can't provide them with the live cattle or the live hogs. That is useful for us to have when we go forward. Anytime you do that, citing your sources would be useful.
That's more of a comment, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Benoit, I don't know if you have any last comment. I don't know if I have any minutes to share with you.
