Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to once again thank the witnesses for being here and for being so understanding of the restraints and changes we've had here at the last minute.
Some issues and points have been brought up that have been reoccurring with our witnesses. Some of the things we have asked for are increased fines, mechanisms for actually compensating farmers, increasing the grain that must be shipped, providing clear and concise timelines for implementing these measures, joint running rights, and mandatory price reporting for more transparency.
We support this bill, but we have some concerns about it. It's the timing of these regulatory changes, and also the fact that there is no compensation. I'm hoping we can all work together to make this the best piece of legislation it could be.
So I wonder whether we could do a quick round with all of our witnesses so that they could comment on what they would like to see in the bill, on whether there is anything missing, and indicate whether they have any amendments, perhaps on the regulatory side, or something they want to see legislated in this bill.
