It seems to change almost every day, but certainly chapter 19, the dispute resolution clause, is of critical importance to the long-term validity of NAFTA. That is a major concern of all food processors across the country. The key here—and I mentioned this in my submission—is that I spent a month on the road with Minister Leal, and we went down with 13 secretaries of agriculture from 13 different states. We met with many business leaders. The supply chain integration in our industry is extremely important. As a matter of fact, as the Canadian dairy council has alluded to, most of those states run in surpluses to Ontario, Quebec, Alberta, and Manitoba. Those states are running surpluses, so they're actually a higher risk if we start thickening that border and impacting the integrated supply chain. Minister Leal used to talk about his wife's Dodge Caravan and how it was assembled in Windsor, but it crossed the border eight times by the time it was assembled. That is exactly true of the food and beverage processing industry as well.
We visited Blommer Chocolate, which is one of the largest raw chocolate processors in North America, and as we were pulling into the parking lot of the plant, there were seven transport trucks with Ontario plates on them. They were taking product up to the Campbellford plant to be further processed, and then it would be shipped back down to the United States for further processing, whether it was going into chocolate milk or into a chocolate bar, that sort of thing. That integration is quick and important. Anything that creates a slowing down or thickening of that border will have a massive impact on the competitiveness of our industry. There's that, and then, of course, the dispute resolution is critical as well.
Like I say, tomorrow I'll wake up, and there will be something else that was tweeted out that we'll be concerned about.
