I believe that the high quality standards are ensured by the quality assurance program. It has been implemented, we have books of specifications at the farm. We understand clearly that at a time when governments are battling deficits, they wish to reduce their expenses.
I would just like to come back to something I said a little earlier. Producers do not want to be subsidized, but they do want the government to invest in agricultural production, in agriculture, both at the farm and to help producers. The government supported quality assurance programs. The government has development support programs, such as Canada Pork International, and it is very important to keep them. There are also animal health programs which are important. This is not funding or subsidies, this is investment by the government in agriculture. We hope that the government will maintain those investments.
