I would like to add my voice. I honestly thought things were going to change a bit. Before at the Ag committee we were able to find consensus on certain things, but as Malcolm used to say, he could count, and you do have to pick your battles. I honestly thought we were going to be able to work together on certain things and nobody on the other side has gotten up to defend why this is so important. Nobody has been able to say why we need to do this right now. Everybody on this side has talked, and I think it's pretty clear why we need to move forward with grain transport, looking at it and talking to experts and maybe stopping a lot of those sections from sunsetting. It's frustrating because it's the same old for me. I was on committee before with the other government and now I'm seeing similar things occurring with this new government, and I think Canadians will be very disappointed. I think farmers will be very disappointed to know that it's continuing. I'm really hoping I'm wrong. I'm hoping that we can get things done and work together. That's all I have to say.
