Thank you, and thank you for the opportunity to be here again.
My comments will be fairly brief. I thought Richard would be pretty comprehensive, and he didn't disappoint, so I'll just take a couple of minutes.
The bottom line is that the Canadian Cattlemen's Association supports implementation of the Canada-Jordan free trade agreement. Our standard for supporting an agreement is that it must provide us with the opportunity for commercially meaningful access for Canadian beef. Jordan announced the lifting of all BSE restrictions on Canadian beef and live cattle when Minister Ritz travelled there last year. This free trade agreement itself provides for immediate, unlimited, duty-free access for beef and also for genetics and for live cattle.
Admittedly, Jordan is not going to be a large market for us, but the important thing here is to recognize that the terms of an FTA just don't get any better than this. It is realistic for us to expect to negotiate an agreement that provides us with unlimited, immediate, duty-free access, and that's what we have here. We would like to see all future negotiations take note of this result and seek the same outcome.
Those are my brief comments. I think they're fairly unambiguous. I'm pleased to take your questions either on the Jordan situation or on any other trade agreements or trade issues that you want to explore.
Thank you.
