Thank you very much, Mr. Minister, for being here today.
It really disturbs me when I come to this committee and I hear partisan comments. It bothers me, because we are all here on behalf of producers in Canada.
Last year, when our government came out with the announcements, when we were talking about ethanol and biodiesel, it was the first glimmer of hope for Saskatchewan grain farmers that I had seen for a long time, and people were excited about it and really happy with it.
You had mentioned earlier a comment that you would like the newspaper reporters to print about how producers should look at this seriously. Can you expand a little bit further on that?
