If fees from farmers are only covering 10% of your costs, could you include in that calculation you're going to give us what the administration cost is for collecting those fees? I wouldn't be surprised if the farmers are just employing people to do the administration and this is not gaining you a whole lot in terms of your overall structure.
I know that with potatoes from Prince Edward Island, for instance, the various fees from CFIA on a truckload of potatoes cost as much and sometimes more than the transportation to get the truckload of potatoes to Toronto. That makes our industry non-competitive.
There's another point I wanted to raise, and maybe this is a question for the parliamentary secretary, Jacques. The previous Parliament had introduced Bill C-27, and it was noted at the time that there was opposition to the bill from the opposition--and that's normal--but it was seen as a very important piece of legislation for streamlining the system. In fact, it would have made us more cost-competitive by increasing our ability in terms of border inspections and harmonization with the United States and other countries.
I don't know whether you're in a position to answer, because I think the direction has to come from the government, but certainly it was a piece of legislation that I still maintain and believe is necessary. I don't know whether you can answer, André, or whether the parliamentary secretary can answer on behalf of the government, but I'd like to know when we can expect to see legislation that will update all the various acts of CFIA and the animal and plant health acts and so on and get us up to modern times, because it didn't get through the last Parliament.
