My comment is that I had to go to a lot of work to reorganize my life and my schedule to be here today. I'm a new mother, I'm a farmer, and I'm a small-business owner, in addition to that. It was a four-hour plane ride, and all the way here I had to ask myself, will there be anybody around that table at the standing committee who is actually going to listen to me? Are their minds already made up?
What is the point of our being here today, if you've already made up your minds? If you don't need this information, we don't have to give it to you. What we're telling you is that we have a story to tell, and we're looking for somebody to hear it.
