Thank you very much for appearing this morning.
As we find ourselves in the latter days of our cross-Canada hearings, obviously some things have become rather repetitive. I think we've drawn the conclusion that there are certain elements of our discussions that seem to be consistent across the country; other elements are perhaps much less so.
I want for a moment to deviate from my previous lines of questioning. I want to take us into an area of modelling.
Mr. Carmichael, you talked about the model of farmers owning—you didn't call it a cooperative—this “enterprise”. I wonder whether you can tell us in very concise form what the benefits are in terms of the end dollar value for the farmer, because we're talking about the developing of niche markets and farming going in new directions. If your model is one we should be looking at, then perhaps that becomes part of what we're discussing. Is it a 12% return that you can see on this, over and above what they would normally have received for their raw product, or what are we seeing here?
Quickly, can we just have something?
