The problem that we see—and that is one of the priorities that you raised in your presentation—involves flexibility, as you just mentioned: regional flexibility, flexibility within each sector. When we ask the Minister of Agriculture for that type of flexibility, we are always told that it can't be done. In fact, the last time I mentioned it to him, he said that there were programs, but that they could not be defined according to a sector or a segment of the industry. He said that special funds had been used, for example, the one that they announced following the discovery of the golden nematode problem in Saint-Amable. Do you think that this is an acceptable response? Do you think that this type of fund can make up for the fact that we cannot have flexible programs, according to the minister?
