Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
It's always good to be back here in Ottawa to discuss things of importance to agriculture in Canada, and hopefully we'll get to the truth here when the CFIA officials come in, and what have you.
Things must be really hot in Malpeque over the carbon tax this summer to bring us down here. But that's okay. As I said, we're willing to talk about that anytime.
Just going back to some of the comments that Mr. Dewar made about the public being surprised, they absolutely were when they found out that a government employee in a place of trust could take documents and release them. I had a lot of people comment on that at the time, and I'm sure that Mr. Dewar did, too, if he'd talk the truth on it.
As well, he talked about the BSE and—I don't know whether it was fictitious or not—some person who was fired a year before the BSE. He seemed to be insinuating that it was this government that did it.
