Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I certainly support the motion. Although it's not said, and maybe Alex could answer this, when he says, “recommend that the government immediately reimburse farmers”, I expect he means through the Canadian Wheat Board, and maybe he can answer that.
I have a couple of points. The Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Agriculture asked, how much is the government on the hook for? The amount would be exactly the same amount as western Canadian farmers are on the hook and paying for as the result of the government's actions--the firing of Adrian Measner for doing his job. That's how much, and we don't know.
You'd think if you had a sensible government, they would have found that out before they took the illegal activities they took in terms of putting gag orders on the board, firing directors, firing the CEO, etc.
