In a perfect world, we would certainly say that multilateral has to be the primary way of reaching these agreements. Unfortunately, we're not in a perfect world. There's been difficulty in achieving that multilateral agreement, and Canada has not been part of the solution on the multilateral front. If we can get some opportunities and get some good access for beef in these bilateral agreements, we would certainly support that. But we don't give blanket support to all bilateral agreements. Some we've supported and some we have not.
