I haven't looked at Bill S-215. Did you borrow the language? Is it basically a combination...?

I think one of the things—and you can provide your own input on it—was the part about what you were trying to accomplish by amending the pricing act in and around the grain drying. I think it was a little ambiguous there, and it's not a critique of Philip. However, that's why we specifically included grain drying, to give some context as to why that should go from an exclusion to an inclusion.

As well, with the Senate bill—I think it was Bill S-215—for the livestock barns, it was just to recognize the huge bills and the economic realities they're facing with them.
