We have the CAIS program. You talked about balkanization, with some provinces having various provincial programs, and about what the federal level can do. From the Canadian cattlemen's perspective, we have been lobbying for some modifications to many of the details within the CAIS program that would make it much more responsive, and as a result of which there wouldn't be the provincial need for some of those programs. If we could make changes to CAIS such as Canadian cattlemen have been lobbying to see for several years, I think we could make the program much more responsive and make it a true, fair federal program.
