For that I thank Ellwood Sawby for initiating our base. The Directors for dedicating the time to nurture this activity and the membership for supporting it. As an example of membership response, Saskatchewan Members were asked to respond to our Labour issue with dollars and respond they did. PIMA now has a Saskatchewan war chest that will take far down the path of fighting unfair Labour Legislation that has upset so many of the Membership. I implore the membership to trust the PIMA Directors with the appropriate guardianship of the trust that members have placed upon us by responding to the need for these funds.
Excitement continues to contribute it s fair share of drama to our industry.
We look forward to John s success and the contribution that his efforts will make towards the overall agricultural economy in Canada. Thank you for the opportunity to be your Chairman. I will long cherish the experience. Last year it was a problem, this year it is resolved. We find no real activity to suggest that there is any activity to contest a law that simply addresses the Competitions Act in a manner that is responsive rather than reactive.
