Thank you, Mr. MacGregor.
Colleagues, I'm just going to exercise two or three minutes while we have our witnesses here.
This is for the folks at the Retail Council of Canada.
How much longer do you think...? I'm not trying to be facetious, but this is a process around the code of conduct that has now been a year and a half in the making, maybe even longer. We've heard from the Canadian Federation of Agriculture and from Mr. Charlebois that this is a really important mechanism. We sit around the table as parliamentarians, and at some point, if industry can't get itself together and figure out what that pathway is, there is going to increasingly be a pressure for us to just mandate and legislate a code ourselves.
How much longer do you think is reasonable for us, as parliamentarians, to wait before we actually move forward and maybe legislate them?
