In those agreements you have to establish fail-safe positions sometimes. I would digress a bit to the U.S. one, because you've touched on our growth success in the U.S.
Our most recent growth took place with a dollar at par. One would question how that could have happened. I would have to say that it happened on the backs of some very hard-working growers who put out a world-class product and world-class services. At the end of the day, even with a dollar at par, we had a tremendous amount of growth.
The other thing, though, was a lot of that growth was based on the backbone of having the PACA regime in America that guaranteed that those growers were going to get paid for the product they grew. That cannot go understated.
Any good agreement or any good commercial environment must ensure the ability to be paid for what you produce. I think that goes for whatever commodity you're going with, whether it's TVs, nuts and bolts, or perishables like we do. We don't have that privilege in Canada. We don't have that assurance. We need those tools. We need those fail-safes.
To go back to your question, the fundamentals of how these agreements are structured are critical for the long-term sustainability and success of those programs.
