Thank you, Chair. Chair, I just want to get on the record that I'm disappointed that we didn't give the ministers an hour each as we had committed to doing before, but it is what it is, and I'll take what I get. I can count over here and I understand who controls the committee.
Having said that, Mr. Carr, I appreciate your comments about being non-partisan. I agree with that. I think if you look at Canadian farmers right now, that's the last thing they want. They actually want to see that you have a good handle on the situation and that you have a game plan going forward. That's what my questions are going to be structured towards.
Have you had a chance to talk to the Chinese ambassador about this issue? Has the Prime Minister talked to him? Have you talked to him?
Ms. Bibeau, have you had a chance to talk to him?
