We have brought in marketing freedom. The next step is to renew the Grain Commission, something that has not been done in 40 years. These changes would eliminate about $20 million in unnecessary costs in the grain handling system, costs that are ultimately borne by the farmers.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3024874\" data-originallang=\"en\">The member must stand up for farmers.</p>",

Nous leur avons donn\u00e9 le libre choix en mati\u00e8re de commercialisation. La prochaine \u00e9tape consistera \u00e0 moderniser la Commission canadienne des grains, ce qui n'a pas \u00e9t\u00e9 fait en 40 ans. Ces changements permettraient d'\u00e9liminer environ 20 millions de dollars en co\u00fbts inutiles dans le syst\u00e8me de manutention des grains -- co\u00fbts qui, au bout du compte, sont assum\u00e9s par les agriculteurs. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3024874\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le d\u00e9put\u00e9 doit d\u00e9fendre les int\u00e9r\u00eats des agriculteurs.</p>"
