Thank you very much. Five minutes isn't a very long time.
I just want to say how pleased I am to be in the second largest producing riding in all of Ontario. Some people in the room will defend me on that. Anyhow, that's for Gary. We have a little fun once in a while.
There have been some pretty forceful presentations made as we've listened to people from the various provinces. There are some themes that have emerged as we have travelled from province to province. Predictability and bankability are certainly terms that we've heard time and time again, and our programs have not done that.
We've also heard in Martin's presentation the need for us to look at transportation as it pertains to the movement of goods and services from Ontario. We think largely of that as being a western issue. It's not only a western issue; it's very much an Ontario issue. We take very seriously the recommendation that we meet with transportation. Believe me, I've already spoken to the clerk about this, and we will be moving in that direction.
There are a number of things that we know have worked for the sectors. Supply management has worked very well, and as we're seeking to develop meat around the pillars as we go forward, disaster is certainly something that we need to put some meat around. We know that's one of the things that's going to have to be addressed in a very real way.
But there have been some choices given by various organizations. The Ontario grain and oilseeds people, along with the Quebec people, have put forward a model. I'm wondering whether there is consensus among the other sectors that this would work, not only for those who are in the grains but for those who are in the livestock sector, because we have the on-farm fed grains being an issue, where that program could be made to work. I think we have to go to a program where there is a sharing of that cost upfront, a program that's predictable and bankable, and that would certainly be one of those programs. I'm wondering whether we could find consensus on that particular program.
