Thank you for your presentation, gentlemen. My first question is to the Ontario-Quebec Grain Farmers' Coalition. After the budget, you issued a press release stating that you were happy to see that the government had finally met the agricultural sector's demand to change the CAIS, the Canadian Agricultural Income Stabilization Program, by instituting a contributory accounts type of component.
However, in the same news release, you also say that the budget had unfortunately not provided any funding for companion programs that you feel are necessary for the successful operation of provincial agricultural programs. In Quebec, a companion program would provide financial support for FISI, the Farm Income Stabilization Insurance Program. In order to properly understand the usefulness of the companion program, I would say that one of its very important objectives is to counter the prolonged drop in the margins that is caused by the huge American subsidies. Would you please explain how this program works and what type of distribution you would favour? How can we provide a fair and sufficient distribution in these programs so that we might counter sustained decreases in the margins?
