Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you to the witnesses for being here today.
Certainly in my short time as a member of Parliament and as a member of this committee, I know you've put out a number of very good studies and reports that have been very helpful to me, and I know to other members of the committee as well. And I certainly appreciate all the hard work you do on behalf of Canadian beef producers and cattle farmers. Again, thank you for being here.
I want to go back to some of the points that have been talked about a little bit previously, but also talk about market access one more time, because I think that's a very important point, something I know our government is working very hard on. I think we've had a lot of very positive results. Certainly, our minister has done a lot of good work there. I certainly get the sense you would agree with these comments.
I think it's important that here in Canada we can't be as reliant on the American market as we have been. We have to look at other markets. Just to make sure I'm clear on that, would you agree with these points?
