That would be fair to say, but you know, Mr. Hoback, my expertise is not international trade. My expertise is production, agriculture and business. What I will say is that without our government leading us through an export-based economy, we don't have a business. We need to have exports. We need to have trade lines so that we can export our crops and we can export our oil. We're hurting in western Canada, and I think this committee needs to know the urgency and the severity of what's happening.
