I find it curious, Grant, that you would say people are losing their shirts, and yet the other side would just put a positive spin on this and say everything is fine and we will stay the course.
You know, it's not fine. I'm not saying everything is going to fail; what I'm saying is that we have to do something meaningful in order to change things, because the old dynamic, the old idea of working within the confines of this box and these programs, is not working. It's really that simple, and we're living in denial if we look at it any other way.
Having said that, what I heard earlier and to an extent this morning--I don't know that I heard it this afternoon--was on the issue of competition. I'd like to hear your take on it. That's the consolidation in the fertilizing industry or the processing or the grocers. These industries have consolidated into such small groups that you have become essentially price-takers, with no control at this point in time. The United States has anti-trust laws that can break up these large companies; in Canada we have competition laws that prohibit collaboration in setting prices, but we can't break up these companies.
Do any of you feel that we've reached a time when that needs to be looked at in order to improve your competitiveness and allow you to be less a price-taker and more a price-setter? Does anyone want to talk about that?
