Thank you, Chair.
It's already explained in the amendment here. It indicates that in clause 5 on line 39 it's going to be changed to:
including, but not limited to, provisions respecting the rights of grain producers to deliver grain to licensees in a timely manner, the fairness, accuracy and transparency of basis calculations affecting the price paid by licensees to grain producers at Prairie delivery points, and compensation.
My amendment adds some very important details around these key issues.
First, of course, is the ability of farmers to deliver when their contract says that it can. Second is some clarity and transparency around how grain companies calculate that basis deduction of grain prices.
Mr. Chair and colleagues, we've had many witnesses bring up this point. We had Mr. Cherewyk, from Pulse Canada. He is the chief operating officer from Pulse Canada. He brought this forward. We had Brett Halstead from the Canola Growers Association. We also had Matt Sawyer from the Alberta Barley Commission and Ian McCreary. So we had many witnesses who brought this forward, wanting something in here that does more for farmers and gives them what they deserve.
It's pretty self-explanatory, so I move that this amendment be put in that clause.
