I think I would like to say that I admire the efforts of the Competition Bureau. In the case that we're bringing forward to you, however, it's a little bit bizarre because the Minister of Agriculture and the application of the farm income stabilization are agents for a non-competitive situation. There are reasons these principles and legislation about not discriminating against producers on the basis of market were put in place. When we allow that legislation to be breached, we're creating a non-competitive situation for farmers internally amongst themselves.
The very program has become a non-competitive agent, and I would ask you to recommend strongly that this not be allowed to happen any longer.
