Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank our guests. This has been the most compelling pair of stories that we've heard today. It's very personal. It's very human and I feel very honoured to listen to your testimony today, so thank you both.
My Cape Breton mom used to say if you ate today thank a farmer. I think she made that expression up and it really is true. So I have a lot of thanking to do because I certainly appreciate what you do.
Ms. Amrein-Boyes I heard your story, Scotland to Quebec to Saskatchewan and now here to beautiful British Columbia. I'm motivated when I hear that there's interest in your family to take on the farm because that's not always the story that you hear.
I'm little disappointed in both of you though, if I might be very bold. The reason is this. I would have thought with those amazing artisan cheeses and sausages we might have had a little sample. I'm getting bored of just black coffee. It would have been really nice, Mr. Chair, to have just sampled British Columbia's very best stuff.
