Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all.
I come from a fruit-growing area. I come from the Niagara Peninsula. We also have a research station, and we just about lost it, as I was explaining this morning.
I know what growers tell me in the area. The most recent one was clingstone peaches. We lost the last cannery east of the Rocky Mountains, and we tore out clingstone peaches. Clingstone peaches, basically, are canned peaches. That's why we called them clingstone. They're easy to can. They process more easily, at the end of the day, rather than having to be handled by hand. They're almost non-existent in Niagara now. There are a few who kept them. The rest pulled them out.
Do you have a sense, because you're in fruit, of where you see the fruit industry going? I'll let you answer that. Then I'll go to Tom on what you are doing and how you are looking offshore for fewer inputs compared to what folks do in the organic sense. I'm interested in hearing something about that.
I'll let Dela and Brian do that piece first.
