I just did that, but as you said earlier, Mr. Valeriote, when you imply something, it is the action that you're doing.
I would like to read into the record from page 3 of the George Morris Centre executive summary. It says:
The results of the producer surveys and literature review should be sufficient evidence to move to a voluntary system. The analysis of value added further backs this up, as we demonstrate that the grains-based value-added industry could, in the future, be worth between $1.4 billion and $2.87 billion, depending on the rate of growth. Additionally, employment in the industry....
As Mr. Martin so aptly pointed out, there is a global economic recession.
Additionally, employment in the industry would grow from 7,600 people to between 12,800 and 25,000, depending on total value added and labour productivity levels. Overall, the costs to producers and to the grains-based value-added industry outweigh any benefits of the CWB's monopoly.
I thought that was important to read into the record, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Friesen, it's good to see you here with the FNA. We've dealt before on input costs. It is good to see a small group of farmers looking for opportunities.
Basically, one of the things I have a question for you about is that we've had several private companies come forward who see opportunities, for example, for pooling. You mentioned that earlier in your presentation.
Would you like to expand on the opportunities you see here for pooling in regard to your company?
