While the deputy looks up the actual numbers, I can comment on a couple of things.
One is that everyone is grateful that prices are up somewhat in grains and oilseeds. While it's still a difficult time, it isn't quite the crisis it was even nine months ago. Prices have come up somewhat on grains and oilseeds, and that's obviously encouraging. Farmers are always grateful when they don't have to rely on government programs, which are always slower than they need to be. Prices have come up, and that's a good sign.
With respect to the income relief and disaster program separation, I'm hoping the framework will be there post-November 14, in a couple of weeks. As a result of the work we've done at this federal-provincial meeting in trying to design this, I'm hoping we can come to a federal-provincial agreement on this within a couple of weeks. If the framework is in place--and we already have the allocation in the budget for the next five years for the federal component of the disaster programming--our plan is to roll into that the long-term funding for the cover crop protection program, which has been used to help people who have been flooded out. That's also a disaster, but we'll put those two funds together and roll it forward.
The government has a multi-year commitment to look after disaster programming, and again working with the provinces on how best to do that, I'm hoping we can announce that in a couple of weeks.
I know the numbers on how much programming goes into Quebec. From my papers here somewhere, I can tell you that the total since 2003 is going to average out to about 12% of the total BRM program, the business risk management program, going into Quebec.
It's somewhat less than the 18% of Quebec's total percentage of overall agricultural production, but that's also reflected in that Quebec has a much higher percentage of supply-managed dairy products, which don't generally get into the BRM program, than the rest of the country--a higher percentage than their population, so that skews it somewhat.
None of this takes into account any of our other spending on everything from research facilities to laboratories, and so on.
I have some numbers here on the totals forecast. Including the September-to-December period, the total forecast into Quebec is about $413 million. That includes the CAIS program,the inventory evaluation program, the grains and oilseeds payment program, the Canadian farm families options program, the flood damage reduction program, the cover crop protection program, and the production insurance program. The federal portion of it is $413 million for this year.
