Thank you for the clarification, but that's not necessary. Mr. Zimmer, I understand very well what happens in this Parliament.
All this to say that where I come from, producers and people in communities across Manitoba are very concerned about the backlog and the lack of federal leadership on this front. To hear from people on the ground is the most important.... We've heard a lot certainly from industry and from representative organizations, but the fact of the matter is that the frustration is being felt first-hand by people on the ground.
In light of this discussion, I realize that the Canadian Federation of Agriculture has also put forward recommendations on the way in which Bill C-30 could be improved, certainly recommendations that we believe need to be looked at very carefully. I'm especially interested in recommendation number seven, where you're calling for transparency in the grain logistics system. You talk about how the U.S. has a model that supports producers by offering greater transparency. What we're hearing, and we heard it in the previous panels as well, is the need for federal leadership, the need for coordination, and the need to have information that is housed and offered by government, and obviously in the interests of producers.
I'm wondering if you could speak to the importance of that kind of coordination and federal leadership when it comes to transparency.
