The reason for making the link is again to encourage participation. We had those services available, but the participation wasn't as much as we would have liked, where we were getting good feedback on farm business assessment, CASS. People who used it were maybe very timid at the start, but in the end they were pleased in general with the service.
We needed to have an innovative program that really addressed the low family income issue. I believe the government decision was that we needed this linkage to make sure there was a real result; that this had a deeper, more significant, longer-term impact than just making the income payments alone. There was a move to provide the help the families needed to address the issue, because they really have to find their own way. They make their own decisions on which program to take, what they do with the results, what learning they take, and those kinds of things.
The view was to have an innovative program that would have a longer-term benefit than just the income payments alone.
