Mr. Speaker, our government's number one concern is to protect our producers' interest and maintain grain quality.
The Canadian Grain Commission has become aware of the fact that many facilities wish to be designated as producer loading sites. Interest has been expressed by both producer groups and major companies. Therefore the Canadian Grain Commission has decided to initiate a consultation process to determine whether such facilities should be regulated and in what way.
Until those consultations are finished, any of those people who are now using such facilities will not be required to become licensed.
