No, and I appreciate that. The bottom line becomes that if our competitors in the world marketplace are offering programs that impinge upon our ability to export, then it's important that we find a way to assist our exporters because of that.
So it was just a question. I wasn't trying to cut you off at the knees there.
We look at the potential of this agreement as a fantastic opportunity for Canadian pork, Canadian beef, and a whole realm of exports not just in agriculture but in manufactured goods as well. The Japanese have come to the table for the first time in a long time in a very serious manner, and I don't think any of us would disagree that we can't allow this window of opportunity to escape us. The fact that pork has some special challenges we appreciate; beef has them as well.
Mr. Masswohl, to go from 21 months to 31 months seems to be quite attainable. I would expect that to eliminate the specified risk materials in the Japanese marketplace, where they're very health and safety conscious, especially in their food products, might be a greater challenge.
Do you think there is some ability here to move from the 21 months to the 31 months?
