Thank you very much for your question.
I think your assessment is accurate. Reciprocal trade can only happen when there is a common standard, and, quite simply, we don't have that confidence, for example, with Mercosur. The countries connected with that trade negotiation, for example, do not have the same labour standard.
The labour advantage in Brazil, for example, would be about threefold to fourfold in cost relative to our per head cost of processing that animal. There's a reason for that: They're not meeting the same standards as we do here in Canada. You can also take another approach from a sustainability or environmental standpoint, but I think that would be how I would respond.
