Thank you.
Certainly for all the examples that I've given you...I've actually travelled to all those countries, and in fact have taken directors as part of our director development program. I have been to Europe, New Zealand, Australia, etc., and I've been able to spend literally weeks with government officials and have been able to examine the structures. We have primarily done that as a cooperative, in order to understand the nature of the beast, if and when—and I'm not advocating for the end of supply management by any stretch—supply management does come to an end, to understand what Gay Lea and the dairy sector will encounter and what is the best model.
Certainly it's been very clear that the nations that have been very successful in being able to develop what I would call a secondary dairy market, in the sense of life after supply management, have been the countries that have very strong cooperatives as the centrepiece of their dairy sector. Where there are multiple, weak, regionalized cooperatives, the country struggles in the transition. Certainly the ones that I have mentioned, New Zealand, Denmark, and Holland, have very strong cooperative sectors, which again, as I mentioned, are very much supported by government policy. The dairy sector has been able to make that transition and grow that dairy sector and has been able to ensure that they put a livelihood back into the dairy sector, whereas the countries that do not still struggle today, understanding that legislatively there is support but financially there is no support. So they have been able to do it independently. But the cooperatives, the strong, central cooperatives, are always the commonality in the successes.
