I have a proposal to take us to March 24.
What I would suggest is this. The next meeting is in two days. That may be a good time to do a program review with our government folks, who can probably come in on a moment's notice. Then on March 3 we could do the Competition Act to look at that aspect that Brian wants to address as quickly as possible. On March 5 and 10 we could move right into COOL, and on March 12 we could have, as we had discussed here, that 45-minute PowerPoint by Darrin Qualman to zero in on the cattle industry. Then on the 26th--whatever the next day is--we could then have some cattle ranchers and/or representatives from the Cattlemen's Association. All of us have talked to ranchers who are hurting. It would be a good time to bring in folks right off the ground, in addition to the association. That would take us, I think, to the 24th or the 26th.
I just want to say that I think we really have a chance now to do something--all of us. I think this government has a chance to move something forward in the cattle industry. I think we can be part of this. I think that report that I've shared with many of you zeroes in on a number of items. There is something we could probably recommend to act right away. This could be a really good time to at least move forward a bit and try to help those guys who are hurting. The answer obviously isn't just more export, more export. We can do that, but there are things we could do that this report addresses. I think this is a time for all of us in history to make that shift and give the government in power credit for this. I think we have that chance. That's why I believe we should make sure we get that PowerPoint presentation.
Anyway, as I said, I think if we did the Competition Act, or program review, Competition Act, two sessions on COOL, two sessions on the cattle industry, see where that takes us, and then move in where we want to fit in product of Canada, more competition, more program review. That's my suggestion to kick this off.
