Minister, you talked about something today in the beginning of your comments that actually struck home with me. I have a local mayor and reeve here from the area of Bonnyville who I think would agree with us. You talked about acting on what we're hearing rather than....
And for once I have to agree with Mr. Easter when he talks about Mr. Goodale's comments being long on rhetoric and short on substance. You, to your credit, as I'm hearing from all my producers, are long on action, so that's definitely a compliment for you.
We had Mr. White here at the last meeting. I tried asking him if he had a feeling on the mood of western farmers for barley freedom. It's my strong belief, Minister, that in Alberta, and my riding in particular, barley marketing freedom has risen dramatically since the plebiscite was held. I believe this is something about which our producers are getting restless and want to see sooner rather than later. Minister, what are you doing to accomplish this for our western Canadian farmers?
