The graph at the bottom shows that in 2008 the price of the potash was $873 a tonne and that now it's $213 a metric tonne. I think that says it, in large part.
PotashCorp has suspended operations at their brand new Picadilly mine in New Brunswick, where they had invested $2 billion. Mosaic, which is another one of our potash mining companies, has suspended production at the Saskatchewan mine in Colonsay.
There is simply too much potash on the market right now, and our companies are making decisions to suspend production so they can remain competitive. They are having to be cost-competitive against other companies that are state-owned and don't have to watch their bottom line. We're seeing lots of production out of Russia and Belarus. They're flooding the market so the prices are low.
Our companies, I think, are really in a survival mode. They're cutting costs wherever they can. If they are merging it means they're diversifying. Agrium is very much more an agricultural supplier. They have one potash mine, but very significant operations in terms of agricultural product distribution. It's a way for them to diversify but also to survive and to rationalize costs, and to make sure they are producing out of their lowest-cost operations.
