It is about clarity and certainty. It is about ensuring that farmers have the tools at their disposal to accentuate the bottom line of their businesses. Farming is now a big business. Even small farms operate as businesses. Some farmers have jobs off the farm and have moved to other commodities that are not under a single desk, such as livestock, pigs, chickens, et cetera. They also grow different grain commodities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2511715\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member for <a data-HoCid=\"170332\" href=\"/politicians/lee-richardson/\" title=\"Lee Richardson\">Calgary Centre</a> makes an excellent point as to why we need to get this done quickly. It is about timeliness. It is about ensuring that not only the markets have time to adjust but also to enable the new Canadian Wheat Board to forward contract and offer futures as soon as possible.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2511714\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170332\" href=\"/politicians/lee-richardson/\" title=\"Lee Richardson\">Calgary-Centre</a> renforce la r\u00e9ponse que j'ai souvent donn\u00e9e. C'est une question de clart\u00e9 et de certitude. Il faut s'assurer que les producteurs agricoles disposent des outils dont ils ont besoin pour rendre leur entreprise plus prosp\u00e8re. Car la production agricole est maintenant une entreprise d'envergure. M\u00eame les petites exploitations agricoles fonctionnent comme des entreprises. Certains producteurs ont un emploi en dehors de la ferme et sont pass\u00e9s \u00e0 d'autres produits qui ne sont pas soumis \u00e0 un syst\u00e8me de guichet unique, comme le b\u00e9tail, les porcs et les poulets. Ils cultivent aussi diff\u00e9rents types de grains.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2511715\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 de <a data-HoCid=\"170332\" href=\"/politicians/lee-richardson/\" title=\"Lee Richardson\">Calgary-Centre</a> a bien expliqu\u00e9 pourquoi nous devons proc\u00e9der rapidement. Il est essentiel d'agir au bon moment. Il faut s'assurer non seulement que les march\u00e9s aient le temps de s'ajuster, mais aussi que la nouvelle Commission canadienne du bl\u00e9 puisse, le plus t\u00f4t possible, conclure des contrats \u00e0 terme de gr\u00e9 \u00e0 gr\u00e9 et offrir des contrats \u00e0 terme sur march\u00e9. </p>"
