Thanks very much.
Thank you all for coming.
I want to pick up on a theme that came from three areas, but with a different sense. I think Ernie and Mike talked about a food policy that needs to be driven not necessarily by politicians, but by the agriculture sector. Sally had mentioned this whole sense of sustainability, and of course Maria had said quite clearly that we need an action plan.
Anyone else can feel free to jump in, but I'd like to pick up on those three themes, because I think they're intertwined in the sense of who writes the policy for farmers, where we go. I'm very interested in sustainability, but ultimately we need to have an action plan. I think it's what Raymond, Gerard, Maria, and others have said: there's been enough jawing, thank you very much; get on with it; let us know whether we're in or out at the end of the day. I think you really need to know that. If we're going to do something, you need to know whether you want to stay in it or get out of it. I think Maria said it quite clearly. You want to get on with your life--and that's fair. We thank you for telling us that, because you're right, you need to get on with your life. We can't be the impediment to the decision you need to make for the rest of your life as to what you do for yourself and your family, as to whether you stay in or get out of the business.
So if you could, give us a sense of where you think we need to go as far as a national food policy is concerned, sustainability, and what that action plan might look like--in broad strokes, obviously, because the chair will give me only five minutes...and a half, perhaps.
