Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I know it's Monday night and everyone is anxious for the meeting to end.
I had moved a motion, and I imagine everyone has received it. Madam Clerk sent it to all my colleagues. If you don't have any objection, I won't read the whole thing. However, if you want, I will read it.
I would like us to very rapidly take a position on the closing of the Olymel plant in my riding, in Vallée-Jonction, Quebec, which has also had a very major impact on pork producers in Ontario.
The motion I made is for a two-hour study. The first hour would be reserved for some of the witnesses I have suggested, and the other hour, which would also be very important, would be reserved for Quebec and Ontario pork producers and the Canadian Pork Council.
It would be useful for us to decide on this motion as rapidly as possible in order to hear these people and ultimately make recommendations and submit a report, which could be very brief. I think it is essential that we make a decision this evening on doing this study. This is quite an important subject.
My colleagues may have questions about this.
