Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you for accepting our invitation. My question is for the president of the Canola Council of Canada.
I'd like to make an incidental comment. Having been a farmer myself, I know that farmers rely to a considerable degree on the weather, soil drainage and so on.
With regard to canola, earlier you said that it is Canada's most valuable crop and that there were considerable benefits involved in using it, even in animal feed. Consequently, if animals are well fed, we, who eat those animals, will be in better health.
Here's what concerns me. Since this will be a valuable crop affording considerable benefits, will we be invaded by canola crops from other countries? How will you inform the public about the benefits of canola? Will you indicate them on labels? What did you think of?
