Oh, thank you.
Thanks very much. It's been a pleasure meeting you, Mr. Hermanson.
Let's look at some of the policy that this bill is proposing. Our committee, as you know, did a study on the Grain Commission. Some of us feel that perhaps we went too fast, that there are things in the recommendations that maybe should have been looked at again.
The committee recommended, for example, increasing funding for the Grain Commission to ensure long-term sustainability. The bill doesn't address this.
The committee recommended that the Grain Commission receive adequate funding to be able to properly benchmark other options through a cost-benefit analysis in a three-year pilot. The bill supersedes these recommendations by aggressively cutting regulatory responsibilities and services immediately.
How would you comment on that?
