Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
First I want to start out by saying that I may be the only one here who thinks this, but I think it's a mistake having both you guys here at the same time. These are two separate industries with two very different issues and they need to be addressed as such. That's the first time I've heard that said.
The second thing is, I'm going to direct my questions to the Canadian Cattlemen's Association, simply because that's the biggest industry in my riding. But I do recognize that there are some significant problems going on in the hog sector and in the pork sector, and we need to look after that.
Mr. Wildeman, I've got some questions. I did about eight or nine consultations with agriculture producers in my riding since we last met. You came before this committee on November 26. On December 15 this committee released its report. On December 19 there was an announcement, and it's a horrible thing to say, but the money is in the system. It does take a little bit of time.
Can you tell me the last time you remember a minister acting this decisively?
