If there's a bit of time left, I was interested, Ms. Semaan, in comments you made about consultation when you cancelled the farm options, or CAIS, in the second year but with plans to....
It was good to hear that consultation was taken. I think it needs to be noted. The member for Malpeque was very, very critical, both outside this room and in this room, about that program. In fact I remember him calling it nothing but a welfare plan for agriculture. Also, the member for Huron—Bruce made the same comments. I can provide those dates.
I think that maybe those comments were a little stretched on what it was. I know that I heard, and we heard at this committee, from farm leaders that this program wasn't working.
So, again, could you cement that? You did talk to basically members from all sectors when you made the decision or recommendation to phase this program out. Is that a fair statement?
