It sounds like the perfect storm happening with the grain industry.
Yesterday it was brought up to us in Quebec about the cutting of the funding to the grain council in eastern Canada. I'm trying to figure out why this is happening, because when we look at the agricultural budgets, the estimates, in Ottawa, they are staying quite the same.
I'm trying to figure out why the minister, if he met with your group.... You know, especially with Atlantic Canada and climate change, some crops are going to have problems, some crops are going to have opportunities. I think if there is a time for more research, it is now for Atlantic Canada, in terms of different crops and how we do it.
How do you see that? Is this a more important time for research? Could it be a determining factor as to whether we're going to have a grain industry at all?
