Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I also want to thank the panel members for coming today. It's important that we hear their testimony.

I've met with some FCC folks, on a number of occasions, to fill me in. I'm from Alberta, and I've met with the folks from Lethbridge.

You talked earlier about helping young farmers. Do you have a designated dollar amount, or the number of young farmers you try to help out on an annual basis?
