Thank you for that. If you can give me details of that as you put your report together, that would be useful for me to hear as well. We heard it from the provinces. We're hearing it from the industry. We're all hearing it from the farmers. I think we're detecting a common theme here, as they say. So your input on that would be useful.
The final thing is on the SRM deadline—it is coming up. That feed ban enhancement was announced last year. It's moving ahead for July 12, I believe it is. Mr. Guimont made a presentation to the provinces on how that's going. It does appear to be coming together well in all regions of the country. As you know, we have a program, we have an $80 million packet of money from Agriculture Canada to help the industry and the provinces make those transitions.
We've signed agreements with most of the provinces now--Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia--and we have agreements in principle with the other provinces more or less ready to sign. So that $80 million will go to help make the transition. It's all on track for July 12. But of course the impact is starting to be felt even in May, because the renderers and so on are starting to make their decision on what can go into feed products in advance of cleaning out the system in anticipation of that July 12 deadline. But it seems to be coming together. Everyone is a little nervous, because it's a big change, but they've had lots of notice and they've been working very productively.
I think you had another meeting last week. Mr. Guimont did with the industry as well, and I believe it's on course. It seems it's come together in time in every province.
