We certainly have. When we did the major project five or six years ago we modernized the plant. It certainly helped streamline things.
Again, we find it difficult, because we're seasonal. A lot of our employees are aging, so we find it very necessary now to try to streamline things as much as possible through modernizing the systems that we have, because we find it very difficult to attract young workers to the industry. It is certainly a seasonal industry, and in our case it is dealing with live products, so it's a lot of hours during the summer months, when a lot of young people would rather be scooping ice cream on the beach in Cavendish.
So these are some of the problems we have. As an industry we've certainly undertaken a number of initiatives with the help of ACOA and the Province of Prince Edward Island—and I know there are other programs through New Brunswick and Quebec as well—especially over the last two years, doing a lot of work on opening up new markets. We've also worked on two major projects with equipment that will not so much cut jobs out, but in our case it will probably establish four new products that we could put out in the marketplace with very good success. This is something that as an industry in general we are sharing and trying to do a lot more of, because I think there's a place for it.
I celebrate when other companies establish a new product or a new process or whatever. If it opens up a new marketplace it takes product away from maybe something I'm doing, or whatever. So I think a lot more investment has to be made in those areas to try to expand the marketplace from the traditional products we currently have.
