I thank the Chairman for the opportunity to contribute. I am not a member of the committee but I have an interest in what is being discussed. There is no doubt that there is a serious problem in the beef industry. I am very much aware of the struggle beef farmers face trying to survive. If they do not get support very soon, they will not be around in 2025 or even 2022. I am here to listen and I am glad to offer whatever support I can give to the committee.
