Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair.
I wanted to address one of the points that Mr. Anderson just raised, when he was again making a false comparison between spot prices and pool prices.
This is a quote from the U.S. Wheat Associates from May of this year, where they said:
...an open market could initially mean more Canadian wheat moving to parts of the United States as Canadian farmers seek higher returns. However, the huge price incentive that currently drives that desire would dissipate very quickly.
So the U.S. Wheat Associates are saying that whatever spot price differential there might be, isn't going to be there when this border opens.
Now, sooner or later, Mr. Anderson and everybody else is going to understand that you can't produce freedom by suppressing democracy. The government has had six years to hold these sorts of meetings, to design a plan, and have discussions to create a climate in which there could be some useful and productive discussions in the countryside. Because the government chose not to do that, we're in a situation where democracy is being suppressed. And it has been suppressed by Mr. Anderson, by the various Ministers of Agriculture, ever since 2006, and this is a continuation of that process.
