There are two very big issues in your question, Mr. Easter, which are very legitimate. In our view, it makes no sense whatsoever for Canada to impose tariffs ranging from 150% to 300% on things like chicken, milk, yogourt, and ice cream. It does penalize consumers. The CTV had a clip on Ottawans going across the river to Ogdensburg just to be able to buy milk more cheaply in Ogdensburg versus buying it in Ottawa. Canadians understand that they're paying more for these products than they would in the United States.
