We could discuss this all day. We are heading into a very dodgy area with liquid milk. I do not have to tell the witnesses this. It is not a very profitable business. We could be facing a situation where in a number of years, we will not have fresh milk to put on our corn flakes in the morning. That is probably a fact. It may be a scary fact but unless it is nurtured properly, to use Mr. Cashman's words, by all concerned, that could be the scenario.
