Finally, Mr. Speaker, an agriculture critic I respect. What we also respect are the results from the plebiscite.
What a great day for western Canadian farmers. Sixty-two per cent of barley producers said they want freedom of choice to market their own barley. Sixty-two per cent said that. We campaigned on it, we promised, we consulted, and they delivered the votes: 29,000 farmers voted and 62% said choice.
We are going to give them the choice that farmers demanded.
