It's the steering committee, because we're getting kind of jammed up here with so many different people wanting to see us in the next month and a half. We have turkey farmers, dairy farmers, and egg farmers.
The steering committee has to ratchet down on the priorities, on where we're going and how we're dealing with it. Also, as many of you know, we're going to Washington. I'm sure you all know that you have to book the flight through your own office.

Is there anything else on Washington? The full committee is going, as we know, the dates are set, and the flights have to be done by your own office.
Is there anything else?

Chair, I would like to know if it would be possible to leave from Montreal rather than Sherbrooke. Is that up to us? It will not take me as long to return home if I land in Montreal.

Okay. But we're leaving on Tuesday, right? Or Wednesday? It's Wednesday.
