Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I'd like to thank all the witnesses for coming here today.
We've heard, for the most part, a reasonably balanced approach to Bill C-33.
Mr. Friesen recognized that there are some problems in there. I liked your comments that we have to look at the whole picture. I think that was good.
Mr. Sigurdson, I'm not just sure how many days or weeks you spent trying to drum up every negative thing you could find on the biofuel industry, but I would just suggest that, as a farmer myself, maybe you should concentrate on the whole approach for your members. Farmers have to be diverse and learn to change and adapt with the times. I'd suggest that might be a more balanced approach.
One thing that has come out here today is a comment I've heard before that one of the reasons for the increase in grain prices is biofuels. I think that's probably a fair statement. It certainly has had some impact. But we all know that the grain prices seem to have hills and valleys.
Something I'm hearing out there more and more, and I'd like some comments on this, is that a lot of people seem to think that maybe the biofuels industry may take some of those hills and valleys out over time. Are there any comments out there, Mr. Phillips, Mr. Quaiattini, or Mr. Chorney?
