Agriculture committee  Absolutely—

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you for the opportunity to present to this committee. I'm here today to explain how poor rail performance affects my industry, my community, and my family business, and why we need Parliament to take immediate action. I and my wife Lisa and my brother and my sister-in-law together farm 8,300 acres of grains and oilseeds in northeast Saskatchewan.
