Thanks very much, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the time at this committee.
The closure of China's market to Canadian canola is a huge challenge for Saskatchewan's economy. As an aside, Viterra's head office is on the same block as my constituency office so it's nice to welcome a neighbour to committee.
I think we've heard loud and clear from all witnesses that the top priority needs to be reopening the Chinese market. What I want to ask is, what would be the single best thing the federal government could do to support our canola producers in the meantime? Would it be increasing the loan amounts under the advance payments program? Would it be waiving the interest on those loans, or might it be some other initiative?
