Following through on the discussions we've had today, not just in terms of this report but in particular this report, we talked about the red meat industry, and I'm wondering why this is targeted only to the beef and not the pork. We've talked about our next meeting, and it's been recognized by everyone that we need to talk not just about beef and pork but maybe also the rest of the red meat industry.
Another report will come, maybe by this researcher, on the pork or sheep industry. Then an executive summary will come forward, and that will be, in my mind, incomplete because it will deal with only one issue, when our concern in this committee and in this country is broader than just the cattle industry. I think as a committee we've agreed that it is the livestock industry, the red meat industry, but we keep talking about the cattle industry. I've been listening to our comments. I still believe that this is being structured towards one sector of the red meat industry that is struggling. I don't think the intent of this committee is to deal with just one. I think we all recognize that we have a red meat industry that is struggling.
I will still go back to the point that we should have a 10-minute presentation, because we're coming in the day before with the cattlemen and the pork congress--hopefully--and that will be a part of it.
I think we're doing an injustice to the total industry that we're talking about.
