Agriculture committee  May I say one thing?

Agriculture committee  Give me a question.

Agriculture committee  This is an emotional issue. It's very emotional. When you hear that we worked out a deal with the Canadian Dairy Commission on pizza cheese, for example, this is the same system, but you're finding anomalies in the system, where for frozen pizza—which advertises “like delivery”—t

Agriculture committee  —but I don't have them all. But I know that we should not be afraid to say that the system that was done 50 years ago—even when you talk to the colleagues you want to talk to about it—is very complex.
