Listen, first I want to say how much I appreciate your acknowledgment of Minister Gerry Ritz and his negotiations with Jordan in terms of lifting the BSE ban. That actually matters to us, and it's not just the minister, but all his staff. I think that's good for Canada and good for all the provinces of Canada, if I might be so bold.
Here's my question. There's an issue that typically comes up with some members opposite about promotional budgets. We heard an expert witness in our last meeting, Thomas Marr, a director at DFAIT. We talked about this very issue of financial dollars, and I know Mr. Keddy talked a bit about it. I just want to ask whether you would support this notion. It was his view and his experience that, given opportunities to eliminate tariffs in a country like Jordan, where the tariffs are 10% to 30%, where we could do business immediately, where 99% of our product would move tariff-free immediately and the rest over the balance of, I think, some seven years, private enterprise would take up the slack and seek the opportunities. When it came to promotion and opportunities, whether in grains or in beef, they would do that.
What is your thought? Do you think private enterprise--and I look at you as private enterprise--would take up that slack? Would you be able to compete effectively in Jordan with your own marketing budgets?
