When I was director of human resources, we often told our supervisors and managers that the best recognition was expressed on a daily basis. That could mean a simple pat on the back, thanking and encouraging, for example, when the work has been done within a very short time frame. That was often the best way to ensure that our people were confident and felt that their work was being recognized. We understand very well that it is not easy for a farmer who often works alone, who is his own boss and has no superior to tell him he is doing excellent work every day.

Thank you and congratulations. Like Mr. Berthold, I am looking forward to reading your thesis.

Thank you. That's all the time we have.

Thank you, Ms. Smith and Ms. Hyndman-Moffat.

Mr. Tremblay and Mr. Roy, thank you very much for taking the time to meet with us this morning. We will certainly take your testimony into account.

Bev Shipley Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, CPC

Mr. Chair, could I just ask them what they think is the best remedy in terms of the consultation to set up, to send that in? I'm very interested in the rural part, and how the federal and the provincial would come together, just to help us, so that it doesn't become a bureaucracy as with gun control.

Thank you.

Okay.

As you just heard, you could send us that information through our clerk. We will make sure that it is part of our study.

Thank you very much.
