In light of that, Chair, I'm going to take advantage of that one minute to say thank you. As a farm leader in the Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association in 2004 and 2005, I know what Agriculture Canada was like back then. When I talk to farmers and farm groups, the difference in working with you guys now is like night and day. They really appreciate the work you're doing. They really appreciate the people you have on the ground and across the country, so please pass on to them our thanks and gratitude for the hard work they do. Please continue progressing like you have, because you're doing a wonderful job, and make sure employees understand that.
