I have one other question I want to get in.
I think it was you, Brian, who said you are asked to provide on-farm food safety. CFIA is now asking you to move up to food plant standards. What we're finding in Canada is that we're being asked to meet standards when, as somebody else mentioned earlier, we're competing against lower wages or cheap labour and lower environmental standards around the world. I would suggest that our corporate concentration at the retail level in this country is such that they, with their Walmart-like depots now, are using the lower environmental standards and lower wage costs elsewhere around the world to lever our prices down or to shut us out of the market altogether.
I'd ask you to comment on that, because we have to decide in this country whether we want farmers or not, and that decision has to be made collectively—federally and provincially. Every government of every political stripe, in my view, at the moment, federally and provincially, is just as bad as the other. There's no federal leadership, from my point of view.
So what can we do in that area to change that factor? We're not going to have a farming community left; it's that simple. We've seen what happened to hogs and beef in this area.
