EVIDENCE
Tuesday, June 10, 2008
[Recorded by Electronic Apparatus]
[English]
Mr. Chair, I'd like to table the following motion. I hope it can be discussed first thing on Thursday morning.
The notice of motion reads as follows: “That the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food urge the Government of Canada to ensure Canadian farmers are not saddled with a carbon tax, which would further increase their input costs and hurt their competitiveness vis-à-vis their American competitors.”
Mr. Chair, since we're studying input costs, I think it's critical that we discuss this at the earliest possible point in time.
I have it in both official languages.
You can give it to the clerk. That's our 48-hour notice on it.
We'll deal with this motion on Thursday at our meeting, and it will be put on the agenda as such.
Okay. With that, I don't see any other business for the public part of this meeting. I'm going to suspend and go back in camera.
[Proceedings continue in camera]
[Public proceedings resume]
Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
When we had Ian White, the president of the Canadian Wheat Board, before us, he talked about some survey analysis that had been done. I believe it has been released, but has the Wheat Board tabled for us the results of the survey, as he had suggested he would?
Have we received the results? No, I don't think we have. I know they were presented at the Senate committee, though.
Ms. Skelton.
I know you asked specifically for it. So maybe we should follow up with the Wheat Board to get that report.
There has been some distortion of what the numbers actually add up to, so if the entire committee could get the survey results—
