The Chair Liberal Kody Blois

Yes. I think that would be helpful. I think it's important. Obviously, as has been mentioned, there's a legal case going on in relation to that, but some certainty between provincial or federal legislation would be important.

Thank you so much to our witnesses. On behalf of all my colleagues, thank you for your work in the agriculture sector and for helping to contribute to this study.

Colleagues, when we're back, we have representatives coming from the two major railroads and the Railway Association of Canada. It will be important to engage with them as well.

I need to ask parties to provide witnesses in relation to the study we'll be undertaking on the protection of agricultural land. If your party has not contributed witnesses to the clerk, please do so as quickly as possible so we can be in a good position.

I hope you all enjoy your break week with your constituents.

The meeting is adjourned. We'll see you in a couple of weeks.
