Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll conclude my comments with a statement. It grows out of the first panel, and it grows a bit from Joyce Murray's comments and questions here.
Agriculture is certainly not the only family-oriented, capital-intensive business we have in Canada. What makes it unique is that it's a high-capital, high-cost, low-margin business that is made up largely of price-takers and largely deals with so many factors outside of its control, like weather. In response to a recent survey, farmers can deal with the weather risk and the market risk. Their number one fear was actually government policy risk. Voila—here we sit today.
I'll conclude with that.
