Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Chair, I would actually submit that (a) I don't believe this motion should even be considered or should have been considered to be in order in the first place, because it's negating a motion that the committee unanimously passed.
Mr. Lemieux, I don't know if you still have your motion on hand, but we passed the motion basically saying that we need to work with industry to discover what the solutions are, and then we're going to bring a motion forward a week later that says, “Oh, wait a minute, we've thought about it and we didn't need to talk to the industry, because we have the solution.”
So (a) I don't think this is in order, and (b) we have a motion. Once again, we've taken the direction that our committee is moving in, and we've taken a position, and Mr. Bellavance decided he wanted to tweak it a little bit and come up with what he feels is the solution. Now they're saying, well, you don't listen to farmers. No. It wasn't farmers who sat before us as witnesses; it was industry. It was the packing industry that sat before us.
Then, last week—and Mr. Bellavance, I'm not going to mention who was here and who wasn't here—we had the Outstanding Young Farmers here. Everybody took their turn asking them if they thought this was the motion...or at least I took my opportunity to ask them if this was the motion they would recommend. Every one of them said no, it was not what they would recommend.
