No, but it is a sad day, Madam Deputy, when farmers today have to set up two or three corporations to cover what they're doing. In fact, they're really at a great disadvantage if they have a mixed farming operation. The diversity that our department has advocated is actually not to the benefit of, or contrary to the best interests of, many people in our agricultural community.
Getting back to your employees, you talked about seasonal employees. Are they $12-an-hour people who are working for you, or are they paid a significant wage? We had complaints under CAIS, when someone with a large feedlot and many steers was calling Winnipeg, and the call came back to the him to ask, how many of those steers would calve in the spring? That becomes a little bit of a problem.
So are they good people to whom you're paying good wages, or are you simply putting together 100 people to handle the paperwork that comes to Regina or Winnipeg?
In fact, none of them, Mr. Chair, had calves the following spring.
