Thank you, David. Thank you, Cal. I'm Frank Valeriote. I have a couple of questions.
I had the opportunity to read a report on the new fee structure for the Canadian Grain Commission. I ultimately don't support the findings and the conclusions of that report. I'll publicly tell you that, and I'll tell you why and what it stems from.
I read in the report that the government has decided to ascribe 9% to the public good in its fee structure and 91% to the private good; therefore, 91% of the cost should be absorbed by the industry, which, as I think we all know and as was admitted in the report, will ultimately be passed down to farmers.
In the United States they ascribe 37% to the public good and 63% to private good. In the United States they are ascribing four times as much to the public good, which reduces the pressure on farmers.
I've talked to stakeholders since I had an opportunity to look at that report, and they've expressed their concern to me about that issue. I wonder whether you can comment on it, in light of the fee structure, and say whether you're content with the 9%-91% division.
We can start with David.
