Agriculture committee  I believe that. We also need to look at this, because if we don't start doing some of these things to ensure viability in rural Saskatchewan, that kid won't be bumping up and down the road in a bus, because it simply won't be there for him. So what we need to do is to ensure now

Agriculture committee  Thank you. Larry said it very well. It's attitude. What we need is a willingness in this country to recognize the importance of agriculture and what it can do for this economy. We need to treat it as something that is important and as something that we value, and we need to val

Agriculture committee  We need to have profitability. People need to start to recognize and realize some investment on their income. I want to talk a little bit about the other question you had. How can we get the urban people that sort of information? The one that really gets me is the Bombardier a

Agriculture committee  I think what we need to do is develop the processes and the programs in our own country to ensure that a large part of what we produce in our country could be consumed in our country.

Agriculture committee  I'm going to defer to Marvin.

Agriculture committee  I guess it would be nice to always come up with the perfect solution. I think I've said a number of times that I like to grow high-quality wheat.

Agriculture committee  Again, that's a position our organization put forward when there was a review of the election process that took place within the last...probably eighteen months. Our organization at that time recommended that it be one producer, one vote.

Agriculture committee  Gerry, I can't really confirm one way or—

Agriculture committee  I would like to say that I agree that research is extremely important. For that reason, I don't grow Marquis wheat anymore. I've continued to move forward with the innovation that has been put forward in the industry, both through the different varieties that we grow and also in

Agriculture committee  Right now, you have a system where you deliver to an elevator in that particular system, where it's weighed and verified. You can submit a sample. If you have a concern about the grade that's being issued at that particular elevator, you can in fact send that sample to the Canadi

Agriculture committee  Marvin is our policy manager, so I'll let him speak to the issue with regard to costs, then I'll try to speak to the other question.

Agriculture committee  I'm sorry, I'm going to have to ask for the question again.
