Thank you to the witnesses for the information you've presented today. I've been dealing with health ministers on this one for a number of years, and they all agree it should be transferred, but nothing happens. Recently I spoke to the industry minister, justice minister and the environment minister. They all thought it had been transferred. They can't believe it's still in Health Canada.
So we have a challenge in the sense of getting it out of Health. It has to get out of Health Canada.
You referred to the report, Mr. Jones. Would you please submit that report to the committee immediately so we have it as part of our study? You have excellent information in that report. I reviewed it again this morning.
You mentioned the international market, but you also mentioned the decrease. Could you go back and talk about why there's a decrease in acreage? This is a phenomenal crop. The witnesses have explained the tremendous value of it, but could you go back and tell us, from your organization, why this decrease in crop acreage has happened?
