The meeting went very well. Part of it is what our competition is out there alleging—i.e, you know, you should come and talk to us, because we'll be able to meet your quality specifications.
Part of the concern was that, as we know, the future of the wheat board was a very divisive issue among many farmers. The Japanese read the press clippings every day. Some people said the wheat board could work and some people said the wheat board couldn't work. That's what caused a lot of concern.
Our competitors took that information and were using it to suggest it probably would not work and there would be no wheat, that everything would be commingled and our quality levels would drop.
So it was very good to be there, and having the Canadian Grain Commission there was good, because they could explain how they are going to continue to inspect the grain and issue certificate finals on grain leaving.
Having Ian White of the Canadian Wheat Board was also very positive, because whether it's the wheat board or agents of the wheat board, when you're dealing in Japan, change doesn't come quickly, in many ways. The wheat board has had long relationships with the Japanese buyers, and Ian White was there to assure them that they'll continue to do that.
I spoke as a producer there, saying that producers will continue to be growing good-quality wheats in Canada.
