We are a significantly stronger company than a year ago, with solid and achievable value creation strategies that will step-change our financial results. While Maple Leaf currently trades at a discount to our peer group in the consumer packaged goods sector, we believe that our transformation will result in market valuations more in line with the expectations of a consumer packaged goods company focused in meat, meals and bakery products. It is up to us to complete the changes underway and deliver the earnings potential that our plan is capable of.

In the year to come, we are going to substantially complete most of the large remaining projects in our protein transformation. While 2007 was a year of improved profitability and major accomplishments, the passion of thousands of amazing people and their disciplined approach to management and change gives us the confidence to look for much greater things ahead. Destination 2010!
