Thank you, Mr. Chair.
It's good to hear the last two presenters talking about younger farmers and succession. We know that one situation is that fewer and fewer farmers are producing more and more.
Bill, in terms of your industry, the numbers are going down, but probably production is going up. We heard a lot of good things that the Province of Manitoba is doing.
Mr. Martin, you seemed to talk about having to go to the Treasury Board and sort of argue for how much money might be available to agriculture. What exactly is happening? You talked about increases in percentages, but figures are much better than percentages.
In terms of your provincial budget, what percentage of the budget is being devoted to agriculture, and is that percentage going up or down?
I know you worry about your 40%, sir, your cost-sharing business. But when you go with everyone else, is health care taking most of the money, and education taking a lot, and then transportation? What is happening with agriculture?
