Can I ask you specifically about Kamloops? I know we had a discussion on Summerland with the other folks. Is it up to sufficient capacity? Do we need more researchers? Do we need more people to work on the grasslands initiative? I've been to the centre. It's quite an impressive centre. Is it working to capacity or are they in need of more scientists?

I would say right now they're definitely in need of more scientists, for the simple reason they're just gearing up. To be quite honest, we still aren't exactly sure of where the program is going and how it will be facilitated. It's just within the last few months that it's changed over to this way. They are being very good about consulting with industry, with the universities, with the Grasslands Conservation Council. There is a very distinct need in this area and a really good opportunity to utilize.... And here again, I talked about some of the differences in British Columbia. Because of our terrain, as you well know, we can't do some of the common practices that are done within the Prairies.
I also have to say the political atmosphere in British Columbia is perhaps a little more green--I'll put it that way. We're influenced by that society, so we aren't able to use herbicides and pesticides in the same manner. In the past at that research centre we were able to create and breed biobugs that went out. I believe it was knapweed that basically we were able to eliminate through bugs. It's that type of research that we're able to do. It's effective; it gets rid of it. It increases our production because we get rid of a noxious weed that is competing for our grasslands, but we do it in a manner that society is making us do it.
Down the road, those attitudes may have to change. If we've got three billion people to feed in the next 50 years or more, it goes back to that element of risk too.
