The issue then becomes a trade issue and an affordability issue of making the program actuarially sound; that becomes an issue. Most producers would jump at the chance for 100% crop insurance.
The comment I wanted to make about moving to a national model is that I agree with Lorne: it would be very difficult to do, and I think we need that regional flexibility in the programming.
The other point I want to make too is that I'm a little afraid moving into livestock production insurance is going to dilute the efforts of crop production. It's going to be very difficult, I believe, under the proposals we've seen, to provide adequate livestock insurance under the production insurance envelope. I believe the coverage that's being offered will not be adequate.
I think we need to investigate other methods of providing that level of coverage for the livestock industry.
