Agriculture committee  Correct. It's actually item-specific. It has not been used in the poultry industry.

Agriculture committee  Yes.

Agriculture committee  Yes.

Agriculture committee  I will go first. As I mentioned before, under our international agreements there is access to the Canadian market of 7.5% of the previous year's chicken production. That's a fixed quantity. The change in the marketplace has changed the dynamics on what is defined on that list of products, or how it fits that list.

Agriculture committee  I think there was a question in there, but I will comment on some of the items I picked up. With respect to the government support, yes, we have the House motion that the government supports supply management. There have been some actions recently that give us concern. The Wheat Board was one, and most recently in the chicken industry is the decision on the non-import control list.

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I thought you'd forgotten about me there, for a minute.

Agriculture committee  Yes, thanks. Thank you, Mr. Chairman, members of the standing committee, members of the community. My name is Bill Woods, and I'm here today as chair of Chicken Farmers of Ontario, representing Ontario's 1,100 chicken farmers. Our industry is valued at over half a billion dollars at the farm gate, is a strong contributor to Ontario's rural economy, and is also directly responsible for over 5,000 jobs and for thousands of additional spinoff jobs.
