Thank you, Mr. Chairman, and thanks to everybody for coming here this morning during your busy spring schedule.
I'm splitting my time with Scott, so I'm going to try to make it quick. I'm going to ask one question, and that's to Mr. Sawler. I've known your family and operation quite well over the years, and I commend what you and your dad and the rest of your family have done for the industry.
We've talked about size of operations and the commercial aspects of it, but my question is more about when you deal with supply management. I think one of their successes is they're a stakeholder, an equal stakeholder, when they're dealing with governments and the industry. Also, we notice the Quebec farmers seem to have a united voice when they're dealing with governments, retailers, and processors.
Should Atlantic Canada farmers be speaking with a united voice, dealing with the vision we see in agriculture, when they're dealing with governments, retailers, and processors? Should there be a more united voice with a positive vision to say this is where we want to go and these are the tools we need from you to take us there in a more cooperative way, having a stronger stake in that?
