Okay. My point, Chair, is that this has been in front of committee for 60 days. There was debate in the House on this, and of course the bill was on the order of precedence before it was debated in the House.
I don't know how long it's going to take my Liberal colleagues to make up their minds on this bill. I don't know how much pressure they need to come under from the farm community. I don't know how many more farm groups need to visit them. But right now they're equivocating, they are unclear, they have no fixed position, and it's hurting our agricultural sector and our farmers.
This motion simply prolongs the agony, and for that reason we're going to vote against it.
I encourage them to vote against it. If they want to say they are truly listening to the concerns in the farm community, then they need to act. It's more than just talk, and we've had a lot of talk from Liberals. Oh, they do this, and they say this and that, but when it comes time to vote, that's when true intentions are known.
Our intentions are known because of our voting pattern on this bill. I challenge the Liberals to step forward and make a decision, and for heaven's sake, make the decision in favour of our farm community.
Thank you, Chair.
