Agriculture committee  I guess that would be correct.

Agriculture committee  No, there would be no guessing. I have not received anything directly with tobacco, and I don't believe any other tobacco farmers have.

Agriculture committee  I believe that's correct. We have seen the results of that too.

Agriculture committee  Yes, I am. My family has been farming tobacco since 1930.

Agriculture committee  I'd have to say that it would be welcomed, because it does have the caveat that we can still make this fair in the future. I think it would be fair to the community too, because Mr. Preston seems to be concerned about the community—and well should be—just as we were in our blueprint for action, where we identified $150 million for the community on pages 9 and 10 of our original blueprint.

Agriculture committee  I guess it's still good morning. My name is Jon Lechowicz. I'm a tobacco farmer and a founding member of Tobacco Farmers in Crisis. TFIC is an umbrella grassroots farm organization, with farmer members from the last three provinces in tobacco production in Canada, those being Ontario, Quebec, and P.E.I.
