Agriculture committee  Given the discussions that took place earlier on, I am almost ashamed to speak. In fact, the coalition advocates programs that will allow family farms to be viable and transferable.

Agriculture committee  I'm William Van Tassel. I'm vice-president of the Ontario–Quebec Grain Farmers' Coalition, and I'm also vice-president of the Fédération des producteurs de cultures commerciales du Québec. I would like to thank the members of the standing committee for letting me give input on this serious problem, farm income, that Canadian farmers are facing, and also the chance to be able to offer solutions adapted to our environment.
