Agriculture committee  The rest of them come from other countries. They're primarily Washington, U.S., apples.

Agriculture committee  Right now, as we speak, there's been a short crop year in North America, but we were monitoring very closely two years ago. There was some very drastic dumping. But to put the documentation in figures and prove a case is very difficult. We looked at it very closely and have declined to move forward at this moment.

Agriculture committee  It's approximately 35% to 40%.

Agriculture committee  The B.C. Fruit Growers definitely have a larger problem with this than the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers, because we're much further distanced. We have collaborated with them and we support their initiatives, because what we've done in the past hasn't been all that successful. We have to look at a new way.

Agriculture committee  Yes, there is a tree planting program that we partner on with our province. We were successful in getting the program with our province after we put together our vitalization plan and did some market research. The tree plant program is very focused on one variety, the Honeycrisp and its pollinators.

Agriculture committee  Good morning. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the committee for the opportunity for the fruit growers, the apple growers of Nova Scotia, to present their views here today, especially as it relates to the next generation of the agricultural policy framework. We appreciate this process here.
