The reason I'm asking is that the agriculture minister made his announcement of a billion dollars back on March 9—the two components were the $600 million and the $400 million. A couple of days after that, I had a meeting with my local farm council, whose members I talk to on a regular basis. What I heard was that a billion dollars sounds like a lot, but when you slice it up into this many slices, it doesn't really leave very much. I came back at them with the same question.
If the federal government was putting $1 billion or $1.5 billion on the table and the provinces were coming up with 40%, that would be $2.5 billion. I don't know whether we're adjusting that number, or whether people are suggesting that it has to be doubled or tripled.
I don't know if anyone else wants to comment, but I'd like to get your views on whether you think the federal expenditure for agriculture is in the right realm or whether it needs to be dramatically increased.
