To sum up, Mr. Chairman, despite Jacques' remarks, the letter that all committee members received was sent to the clerk yesterday at 2:16 p.m. All committee members are mentioned. In their letter, the growers ask to appear before us as soon as possible. That is the reason for my request. We've been in contact with the growers and they want to describe their plight to us. That is the reason why I asked that we meet with them as soon as possible.
