Thank you, Mr. Chair, and I'd like to preface my comments by saying that Monsieur Bellavance and I both brought this up today. I'm glad that it was put into the report. I'm simply moving it forward. This is something I have committed to doing for my constituents.
I'm going to move a motion that the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food call before it the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to examine and answer questions regarding the potato cyst nematode and the effect their regulations have had on potato farmers, who have suffered severe losses, and to discuss specifically farms who have been quarantined and/or had their operations closed by an inadequate sampling.
I will provide a copy, and as I said, Mr. Chair, I do hope this will come forward through the report. That process will be much quicker than going through the motion process, but I do think it's important to have something like this on the record.
