Agriculture committee  Some of the issues that have been brought up I find interesting. You talked about succession planning and going to the next generation. I'd like to refer back to our last annual general meeting. If I looked across the crowd, there were not a lot of people with the same colour of hair as I have.

Agriculture committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think it's an ongoing thing that you try to protect yourself from disasters. There's been a lot of discussion. Under supply management, a lot of the issues that you've discussed under the APF and under the business risk management are also.... We fund ourselves because of a levy.

Agriculture committee  I'll make it a Reader's Digest version. I was growing up on a chicken farm with my dad when I first started. We had chickens well before supply management, and I'd just like to emphasize the importance of supply management. I went out on my own when I got married, and one of the first things we experienced was a fire, but there was enough confidence in the industry to rebuild.
