We are always engaged in trade negotiations. Market access is extremely important for the Canadian beef sector, and we have a number of mechanisms through which we engage with the federal government. There is the Agricultural Market Access Secretariat. There is the Beef and Cattle Trade Advisory Group. We have the Beef and Cattle Market Access Committee. I believe there is also the Agriculture Trade Negotiations Consultations Group. We participate actively in all of those, and many of those fora are broader than beef—we discuss many things there. Of course, we also take the opportunity to meet one on one with the negotiators. This way, rather than being in a room with different producers and going over details, we can go over details directly with the negotiators.
