Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to the witnesses.
I want to focus on what I think is a connection between what Mr. Boxall was saying and what Mr. Lee was saying in terms of looking at the supply chain. I'll start with Mr. Boxall and then go over to Mr. Lee, with the time I have left, on vertical integration of some of the systems we're talking about.
Mr. Boxall, I love the idea of the grocery code of conduct, but it is part of the overall supply of food. You're at the very starting point of it, and the price of seeds has also gone up, as has everything else, for your inputs. Then we have the transportation sector and then the wholesalers and distributors.
You mentioned some of the policies around.... I talked to some of the farmers around my area, who have said that some of the large chains will hold back payments, pay on 120 days, pay lower margins and really squeeze the people who are supplying them.
Could you maybe comment on what we could do to address the food pricing system as an overall system?
