Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I'm going to propose an amendment now, and I'd like to speak to it.
I want to stress that I'm amending it and not totally changing it. I propose that the motion say:
The Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-food calls on the Federal Government to immediately implement an exit strategy for tobacco producers and to continue to work with all partners to find a workable way forward for tobacco growers, manufacturers, communities, and federal and provincial governments.
I'm taking nine words off Mr. St. Amand's motion and replacing them with that.
