Having taken part in the discussions on crop production over a week in Saskatoon, having been out at FarmTech in Alberta, living in Winnipeg, and being part of some of the discussions that occur around Manitoba, I think the big issue here--and I think it addresses the question Mr. Anderson brought out--is the need for more information and communication. I think there is a need to be focused on all four elements of what the task force was recommending, and I don't think there has been enough of that.
So I don't know if I would characterize the question so much as opposition right now as the need to put out more information to address some of the questions and provide more explanation.
Further to that, I guess I would just say that groups like Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Manitoba pulse growers, as well as canola organizations, have submitted lists of questions to PMRA to get them to answer. I believe also that CropLife Canada has been asked to provide some information so that it can be shared through some of the grower publications and can be put out there as quickly as possible.
I think the people who sat around the task force table were provided, over the course of 15 meetings, with a lot of information about the complexity of the issue and about what we are really trying to achieve. I'm not personally aware of them, but there may be organizations that are in opposition to the recommendation. Mostly what I see is a need for more information to explain what can be achieved, what is expected, what kind of cooperation is going to be needed by regulators and by registrants, and what assurances farmers are going to have that this new system is going to work. That's what I believe is probably needed right now.
