Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to everyone for coming.
I would ask everyone to think about this for a minute: if you had one program targeted at young farmers, what would it be? I want you to think about that. But I have another couple of other questions to a couple of people first.
Quite a number of people mentioned profitability, which is more over the long haul. We certainly haven't seen that in the industry in the last 20 years. Your deputy minister from Saskatchewan and my deputy minister from P.E.I.—everybody's worried about where the farm industry's going—did a study. I left the study on the bus, but it showed that from 1929 until 2007, net farm income went down on a 45-degree plane.
We have to give our heads a shake. This can't continue. There's no profitability there, and there are all kinds of different programs that really aren't working. I think it's getting worse. Alberta and Quebec have a lot of programs, but most of the other provinces don't.
Mr. Thompson, you mentioned a number of things. I'm trying to figure out what you're really saying. Are you requesting market price insurance for the cattle industry?
