The officials are more than welcome. The Chairman made a very significant statement regarding his fear for the industry and where it is at present in respect of this proposal. I will ask a few questions. This 30-page report was published by the EPA last week. It contains very significant information that probably needs to be explained in detail. Has the Department released a press release on this issue? What communication has it had with the farming community in the past week regarding the publication of this report?
