Thank you very much.
As I said during the first hour of the meeting, we firmly believe that this measure would have been worthy of a separate study, instead of being included in an omnibus bill.
To come back to public-private partnerships, something that strikes me very often is that we talk about private companies. When we're talking about private companies, for a lot of people, and notably the government, it seems to be exclusively big Canadian companies.
If we look at the U.S. models for public-private partnerships—and I think the U.S. is a model in the world—they work not only with their national companies but they work with Canadian companies, Australian companies. They don't need to work specifically with Canadian companies.
Also, some aspects we seem to be forgetting or we see as just a kind of spinoff are small and medium-size enterprises in developing countries, which are very often the main motor for growth, far more than a mining company, for example, that comes for a few years and then leaves.
Do you think that working not only with Canadian companies but with companies from around the world, including developing countries—and I'm coming back to your two farmers—would make a difference for the two farmers?
Thank you very much.
