First, Mr. Chairman, I'd like it duly noted in the minutes that I abstained on the vote on the motion dealing with witnesses' expenses.
Secondly, I want to put a notice of motion here, and I'll read it if it's appropriate, so that I've given the due 48 hours' notice so this can be dealt with at our next meeting:
That the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food request that the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food conduct a full review of all inspection fees charged by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency; and that this information be used by the minister to investigate possible options for the government to deal with the inequity between what Canadian livestock producers and packing plants pay for inspection fees as compared to their counterparts in the United States.
I have it in both official languages. I apologize that I don't have extra copies, but I'm sure the clerk can order some.
