Thank you very much for that very well-thought-out question.
My father was born in Biggar, Saskatchewan, so I have a lot of affinity with Saskatchewan farmers. At the moment I'm in Quebec City, and when I go to avenue Cartier to do my shopping, I find a wonderful selection of Quebec cheese. Some of the Quebec cheese producers are not nearly as happy about the kind of access we're going to get to other markets and not quite as happy about the competition that we're going to face in our own market.
I believe that in the agricultural sector, we have to operate on a sectoral basis. But we had great success as part of the Karen group in providing for concerted measures to restrain what would be used to promote exports of grains worldwide.
The United States runs a cheap food policy. What it does is it then subsidizes its exports into markets in which we were competing with them. It makes it very difficult for us to do that. In fact, the way we competed was we went into their market, because we could compete in the U.S. market. We were having trouble against them in third markets.
I think having a sectoral basis, talking to the Europeans who have their common agricultural policy but who wants to produce good quality food on a sustainable basis, having those discussions with other agricultural companies is what we should be doing.
