I want to put this on the record.
This is an environmental bill. I understand and support the fact that it's helping farmers. I think we all agree about that. But there are other issues. There are long-term issues. There are witnesses that we have suggested, and for the sake of a couple of weeks, I think we have to hear them so we can get the total picture--short range and long range. We're looking at a policy that could drastically alter the course, not only of agriculture but of the environment and the whole climate change debate in Canada. We have to look at it carefully, and I'd like to make sure we take some time to do that.
