Agriculture committee  I would agree, Randy. On that issue, I have a dire concern with the innovation of attracting investment into the wheat and barley industry right now. My comment on corn is sincere. There are posted comments from the major corn breeders in the world that the corn yield will double.

Agriculture committee  Thanks, Randy, for the question. Canola represents, on our own farm, about half our acres and about 85% of our net income. It is direly important. It is one of the crops that is a golden child, and it's a great story. As we know, it was made in Canada, right at the University of Saskatchewan, and it is an industry that has grown from free trade and from private industry, collaboratively with growers.

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you, committee members. It's a tough act to follow, Carter. Great job. By Carter's standpoint, too, as of this year I'm no longer a young farmer. I turned 36 this year. Before I get going, I also would like to, for the record, again thank the committee for allowing me the opportunity, but also for being here in what is basically a unique part of Saskatchewan.
