Thank you very much.
I have a question for Pulse Canada, and also Mr. Brunell and Dr. Wittenberg; please feel free to join in.
We've heard over and over again about the problems facing primary producers and farmers, whether it's insurance or CAIS, or being innovative and scrambling here and trying to do something. So a farmer does this, and all of a sudden you want to ship your peas, for example, and you have this horror story that you're talking about, the hurdles. You know, 20% cars allotted if you get them; cars not in condition; they move it when they feel like it; the timeline.
So I have a question, and I know this is controversial in this day and age, but I'm going to ask this question. I was talking to a farmer near Saskatoon, and his son spends the whole day on his cellphone trying to negotiate something for peas. He used the example of peas. So we have peas that are shipped; we have canola that's shipped. And we have wheat and barley that are shipped through the Wheat Board, but canola is not. If we look at these three commodities, does it make a difference when you have one organization, such as the Wheat Board in this case, or does it not make a difference? Is there a difference with canola? Because we haven't heard what the timeline is on canola.
I'd just like to get to the bottom of this, apart from the fact that the rail line isn't doing our business. We know that.
