I think it's a mindset that we have to get our minds around. I'll provide one specific example, and I think this is specific to the way the program was developed and delivered. But the grains and oilseeds payment program in P.E.I. had a flaw in it federally. Federally, the way grains were recorded on farmers' tax returns, they we're not recognized as eligible payment, whereas they were across the rest of the country. We worked very hard to have that finally changed. So it was a line 39 item, where grains were recorded under pellets, silage, or screenings. Because there aren't any of those items on P.E.I., farmers were recording their lump sum grain sales on that particular line. Because that was excluded from the program, P.E.I. farmers did not receive that payment.
It was very simple for us to point that problem out in the program, but there was a simple roadblock and unwillingness to recognize that difference, and they would say no, that's the way the program is and we're not changing it; I'm sorry. We fought and fought, and finally, ultimately, we did get that changed and there was some just action taken.
My point here is that there needs to be a recognition that one program doesn't necessarily fit the mould across the country. If you work with the associations and the sectors in each province, I think there are ways to come up with methods that can address those differences.
