Thank you, Chair.
I'm just amazed. Wow: this is the guy who brought in Bill C-474 and said we needed to do all of this study and listen to all these witnesses and now he says we don't need to do that.
All I'm doing is giving him a venue to actually allow some of those people to come forward and explain what the issues are. Not only that, I'm also trying to do it in a balanced way so that everybody can explain what the issues are and so we as a committee can actually move forward into the 21st century on this sector. This sector is huge for agriculture. This sector is probably going to deliver more returns per acre than anything we've ever grown in the past.
So to say we don't need to study this just shows you that you're not in touch with what's going on in western Canada or in the rest of Canada in agriculture. That's absolutely crazy.
