I appreciate all of you taking the time to address the committee.
I am going to focus my question to Ms. Haley, given that she is from Alberta. I want to give the opportunity for the committee to hear more of an Alberta perspective as much as I possibly can, because that's representative of my farmers and ranchers back home in my riding.
Ms. Haley, can you give me and the committee a bit of perspective, on behalf of grassroots farmers and ranchers in Alberta, on your take on the two approaches to the problems the industry faces? Certainly our government has focused very extensively on opening up export markets, new markets, market access. It's something we've been very successful in doing. So I wanted to get a sense of how you feel that approach works. Maybe you can contrast that with the more protectionist approach that I've heard from others, to the idea of more ad hoc government payments. Could you give me a bit of a sense as to how Alberta grassroots ranchers and farmers feel about those different approaches?
