Pandiana: As I said, I was playing devils advocate, stirring the pot a bit. Your point regarding attending to make a statement to ABP is well taken. However I would wonder if the ABP is listening to producers than why do we not see ABP taking steps to see packing capacity built in this province?
I would reiterate my point that if these meetings are not well attended that the cause should not be assumed to be producer apathy. If producers are not interested in what the ABP has to say than perhaps the ABP should reconsider what it is saying. So there is a message for the ABP if lots of producers turn out for the meetings and there is a message for ABP if only a few are there. The challenge is to hear both messages.
