First of all, I would like to thank each of you for taking time out of your day to be here. I know you probably have more important chores to be attending to. The quality of your presentations is terrific, it really is. Each of you has given a lot of thought to this, and it's extremely important for us to hear what you have to say.
Yesterday in Saskatchewan somebody said that we wouldn't be here if we didn't have a crisis on our hands, and the impression I am being left with listening to the witnesses over the last four days is that we are at a crisis stage. We have heard a large slate of options and changes and tweakings that could be made to farm loans and AgriStability, but my impression is that it's at the stage where we have to think beyond tweaking some of these current programs; tweaking some of the current programs may not be enough. On the other hand, I may be wrong. Maybe the solutions that you're proposing are enough.
If we could think out of the box for a moment, what might you propose--any one of you--as a program that would help bring in and hold a young farmer in the industry?
