Earl Dreeshen Conservative Red Deer, AB

Thank you very much.

I think that is perhaps a perfect place to leave it, so thank you again.

The Vice-Chair NDP Malcolm Allen

Thank you, Mr. Dreeshen.

Thank you, Mr. Verkaik, for your testimony today. We appreciate it.

If the committee is willing, I did notice that Mr. Verkaik suggested that he would send us some numbers.

The Vice-Chair NDP Malcolm Allen

Sir, if you could provide that to the clerk of the committee rather than to individual members, that would be greatly appreciated. I recognize that you said a couple of times there were some numbers that you didn't have right in front of you. If you would be able to supply those to the committee, that would be of great benefit.

We certainly appreciate you taking the time. We apologize for the confusion. It seems that finding the room was a bit of a chore for you, but we appreciate your tenacity in actually finding it and joining us today.

4:35 p.m.

Chair, Ontario Fruit and Vegetable Growers' Association

Jason Verkaik

The Vice-Chair NDP Malcolm Allen

To my fellow colleagues today, thank you very much for allowing me to chair, and thank you very much for your indulgence in allowing us to wait for Mr. Verkaik to show up and give testimony. Thank you very kindly.

With that, we're adjourned.
