Thank you.

I appreciate your both being here. I have a couple of questions for Mr. Ilasz, and then for Mr. Tak on the trade side.

I'll give you all my questions, Mr. Ilasz, and then maybe you can answer them as we go.

I'm curious, first of all, about how you got on the trade mission. It sounds as if that was a pivotal point in terms of your getting into this country.

Second of all, I want to ask about the duty. You said that it's 17%. It depends on whether it's maple sugar versus maple syrup. Is that 17% on the $27 cake?
