I'll just go back to the previous question that I asked, Mr. Minister. I've farmed all of my life. In farming, timing is important. There's the window to harvest, and for doing other field work it can be quite small. Would it be reasonable for farmers to have valid concerns that open work permits could potentially put them in a situation where they couldn't get their crops off if another farmer with a valid LMIA came by and offered them a better deal?
