Mr. Foster, my question is to be a topic for discussion at the next federal-provincial ministers’ meeting. In fact, they devoted quite a bit of time to it at their last meeting. I am referring to the creation of separate programs.
In your opening remarks, you indicated that the CAIS program would be divided into several different programs: one focused on insurance, another on disasters, and so forth. There is a gap in this regard at the moment. Just take the situation with the Saint-Amable potato producers, and their recent disaster.
In your opinion, would the Saint-Amable potato producers and the other horticultural producers affected by the golden nematode qualify for this program by virtue of the fact that this is a devastating situation for them? Or does there actually have to be a disaster per se, like a flood, for example, before they are entitled to help under the program?
