As Mr. Desjardins said, in Quebec, we've developed... There are a number of ad pensum payments in my area. I live near the border, in the high country, as I mentioned in my address. We live from maple syrup production. A number of producers there live off forests. We also produce grain and milk. You're penalized from the moment you register for the CAIS program. This year, our syrup harvest is very poor. A producer who only produces maple syrup and who also works off the farm will be put at an advantage because he'll be able to use the program. But, for me, who produces milk and a bit of grain, all that will cancel out. I'm required to register for CAIS in order to have grain and all kinds of things. It's a problem.
