Mr. Chair, government members can do all they want to try to cover up and try to leave the impression that there isn't a problem in the agricultural industry. We have a livestock industry, especially from the Ontario and Manitoba border east, that is in serious, serious, serious trouble. Those producers do not know the payback schemes on this issue. They do not know the payback schemes on this issue. We need to have officials in so it can be made clear what they are. There's a lot of confusion around this. If those members are going to do their jobs for producers in this country, instead of trying to cover for the minister, they would agree to this.
