It's been a long time, because we were discussing some of these issues when I sat on this committee and we had the chief commissioner of the Grain Commission come before us. Of course, I had to try to get feedback for my constituents to find out what their position was on the Grain Commission and other issues.
I can tell you, quite frankly, that there is support for the Canadian Grain Commission among all stakeholders in the industry, particularly among producers, and support for the work of the Grain Commission continues and is strong today. The fact that the Grain Commission is not in the news every other day is a good thing. It is doing good work, and the farmers appreciate that.
That being said, the other thing farmers are particularly concerned about is input costs. I would imagine this committee is very aware of the fact that input costs are one of the greatest impediments to a positive bottom line, even with higher commodity prices. Within the Grain Commission and among farmers, there has been discussion for quite some time about how those input costs could be reduced as they relate to the Canadian Grain Commission. That is the area that Bill C-39 tries to address, and it's obviously something I'm hearing from producers.
