It's funny, because culture was part of a big discussion around the Beyond the Border initiative that President Obama and Prime Minister Harper signed. I was part of those negotiations on the agricultural side. We've made some movement there but we haven't done it on the culture. It's all about demand anyway.
Thank you.
Erna, it's good to see you. With regard to the chicken growers, you outlined a lot of the product that comes into the country. Certainly, we as a government need to move and it's now Global Affairs that actually controls a lot of those other imports. Finance had to sign off. There were three or four different departments, and we actually got it all worked through. The bureaucracy has done all the work. There's not a lot left to be done other than to go after the duty relief program. It never was to go after food. That's a no-brainer; that can be done. That offsets a lot of what's going to come in on the TPP side, so it's basically a zero-sum game.
Then when you start talking about spent fowl, you rightly pointed out that we're now buying 110% of U.S. production, which means somebody's cheating, and that needs to be shut down. Again, with regard to the creative packaging, we have stopped some of that, the sauce packs and so on, but there's more to be done. You talk about supporting TPP overall, and I welcome that. I know about 30% of the supply management folks, from dairy though to the poultry side, are free marketers as well. They have crops. They have cattle. They have pork. They understand that the work needs to be done.
