Thank you, Chair.
As I read the amendment I'm wondering if there's a problem that we don't know about because I don't remember this coming up in committee from witnesses. The amendment would make me think that it happens at least frequently enough to warrant an amendment, where varieties are taken off the market and the farmer is left saying, “What just happened? Why did that happen? I'm disadvantaged somehow.”
What I'd like to ask the officials is, based on Agriculture Canada experience, how often is a variety removed from the market? Does it happen a lot? Not very much?
