On a serious note, Mr. Minister, I do want to thank you on behalf of the people of Westlock—St. Paul. I've been inundated with letters this week on Bill C-18, marketing freedom for farmers. We're very grateful that AgriRecovery money has been there in western Canada for the last few years, but we'd most certainly rather be marketing and farming the market than what we have been doing. So thank you very much on behalf of the people of Westlock—St. Paul.
As you know, I did sit on the special committee that dealt with the Weatherill report and food safety. I would like to get an update on whether or not the government has to date kept its promise to hire 170 new inspectors.
