Thanks, Mr. Chairman.
Again, I can't support this. I do very much appreciate the compromise that's taken by a couple of our members around the table, and I think it needs to be pointed out that it's unfortunate that not everyone is willing to compromise. The bottom line here goes back to what's the most important work that could be on our agenda today, and that's this APF.
As Mr. Steckle and others have pointed out, the travel we did around the country, which was a gruelling trip but very rewarding, for me anyway, in what I learned, and I think for every other member, to see some of the things affecting agriculture across the country.... It's important for us all to see it. Those things are still relatively fresh in our minds, and I think it's time to get on with that. We'll get to these motions, but let's prioritize. That's what this initial motion that's now defeated was requesting, and I don't think we should vary from that.
