Obviously, Mr. Chair, we're not prepared to support this, and for many of the reasons that we've given already. We think it's important that we get to the APF immediately. It's been clear since the beginning of the meeting that the first two motions were not going to be supported by us. We've already had some vigorous debate on it, and we're going to debate them further.
I want to point out that I think the member is making a mistake by bringing forward this motion and not having supported the last one. Clearly, we want to begin to move forward on the APF; we want to bring the report forward and get that done for farmers.
As I pointed out previously, we've spent probably seven or eight months now trying to encourage the opposition to focus on the APF report, and at virtually every opportunity they've stirred away from it into other issues. We tried to get them to focus on it in November and December; however, there were a number of issues that they were bringing forward at that time, so we didn't get to the hearings at that time. Four or five months ago, we also brought this up and talked about the urgency of bringing the report forward as soon as possible. They again have chosen to throw roadblocks in the way of it.
We've now had our hearings. The only thing that's standing between us and getting this done is to go through the report, and it would certainly help if they would take, as Alex called them, the two critical motions off the table so that we can get to the report immediately. The sooner we get to it, of course the sooner we can get it done and get it into the hands of farmers, who will be glad to see some of the recommendations there, I think.
