Thank you, Madam Chair.
Out of all the different amendments that are in here, I want to draw attention to clause 35, which is modifying the Farm Products Agencies Act. This is the only place where I find that the change is actually a substantive change.
The old text refers to a person “who is engaged in the marketing of any regulated product”. Now that has been changed to any person “who is engaged in the growing, production or marketing of any regulated product”. It is a huge creep in scope to extend those regulations to people who are growing and people who are producing and not just to those who are marketing, which was the intent, I think, of the legislation.
Could I hear some commentary on that?
