Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
We definitely need the farmers to be at the decision-making level, as Lynn talks about, because we've been left out too long.
I can't give you an answer to the question, but I want to give you an example.There are two men standing in a field in a sparsely populated area in southern Alberta. One is an agriculture producer. The other one is a heavy-duty mechanic in the oil industry. The heavy-duty mechanic gets a raise of $8 an hour on January 1. The farmer gets a raise if fertilizer goes up $120 per tonne from last fall. There is a disastrous imbalance.
Thank you.
