Thanks for that question.
Certainly we recognize that there's a growing but still very small group of consumers willing to pay more for local food products. Our point would be this: “Excellent. Let the market decide who's going to buy those products and let the industry the flourish around those large centres where farmers can provide those products”. Input costs and fuel costs will have something to say about that, but again, let the market decide that. Let's not try to outguess it ahead of time.
The one thing that we would be fundamentally opposed to is policies that would restrict trade domestically within our country and internationally. Trade ultimately optimizes the use of resources at their purest fundamental point. We need to ensure that those regions in Canada that can do something very well and efficiently are allowed to do it and to then compete across the country and across the world for that production.
