Thank you very much, Chair.
I'd like to thank our guests for being back at our committee to provide testimony. I'm sure there's nothing you would look forward to more than to having all-party support for this agreement. I would like to imagine that's what's going to happen as a result of this. I was glad to hear clearly that the Bloc has indicated that they're prepared to support this. I hope all parties, perhaps before this whole session is done in this meeting today, might be prepared to say that. That would be rather interesting.
Thank you as well for providing the larger wish list of the various projects that you would like to see completed to assist the beef producers.
I'm going to focus more of my questions back on Jordan, if I might, since that's the topic at hand. I want to come back to something. You provided testimony some six months ago, it seems to me, and you gave a strong compliment to our Minister of Agriculture, the Hon. Gerry Ritz, and at the time you acknowledged his work in having the BSE restriction lifted in Jordan.
You made that comment six months ago, and it had occurred just before that. What are the beef producers doing to take advantage of this?
