Mr. Speaker, I always enjoy the hon. member's comments. We have served on the standing committee for awhile and I have always appreciated him and know he is also a good farmer.
The only thing I am surprised at is that he forgets we have calendars. There was a crop year on August 1, 1994. In the spring of that year the standing committee stated that it should be stopped, that it was illegal and it was costing us money. I would suggest that if this government is not going to work faster in implementing legislation, some day in the hon. member's chicken business all the eggs will be hatched and nobody will have eggs for breakfast, putting his whole industry in jeopardy.
I hope he will urge the minister to move a little faster because we need some action. I wonder how he would comment on that because this has been delayed a whole year.
