Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, gentlemen, for coming before the committee.
I'm from Prince Edward Island, and we haven't had experience with golden nematode, but we have had experience with being shut out of the market due to problems moving into the potato industry. To this day there are still farmers suffering financial consequences as a result of PVYn and potato wart. So there are very serious consequences here if the government doesn't move quickly enough.
Within the regulated area you're saying there are 4,500 hectares and 1,250 are in potatoes. What about other crops? Are there restrictions on those crops as well, or are we just talking about potatoes? If we're looking at a compensation package, it has to look at anything that moves. Am I correct?
