Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all three parties for appearing here today.
I'm going to begin with the Association des producteurs maraîchers du Québec. I'm working on my French.
As I listened to your testimony, I heard, in my mind, two different issues relative to the code. There is, I think, the one the code was designed to address, where there's a contract in place and breaches of that contract—fines that were not addressed in the contract and things like that—and the negotiation of the contract itself, whether that provided a fair return or not.
My understanding is that the code was not designed to provide a fair return to producers, as much as, coming from producers, I'd like to see that. That is not the goal of the code; it's to address the other violations of that agreement after an agreement is in place.
Would you agree with that?
