Mr. Chair, on the mandate of government, I would like to submit that the mandate of government is to protect farmers. The key word here is “farmers”, you know, and it's to uphold their rights, not the right of the companies to do what they want.
I think it's time for this government to say yes, we're going to put this in place, and if we have to, we'll amend legislation to ensure that these guys don't arbitrarily close down producer car loading sites. It's as simple as that. Let's get on the side of the farmers and not the corporate friends.
