Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, gentlemen. I'm glad you took the time, on very short notice, I understand, to come today.
One of the things that I think Mr. Wildeman alluded to and I think through all your conversation.... It seems that we've been dealing with the CAIS program, and right now, as you mentioned, CAIS sometimes doesn't meet the needs quickly enough. There are some obvious shortcomings with CAIS. So that message got through under BSE, under different problems that we've had over the years.
The current agriculture minister--as did the former agriculture minister--is trying to address that with our Growing Forward program, which I would imagine you're all familiar with.
What I'd like to know is.... We're going through this problem now and we have to address it now, there's no question about that, but five years from now, if you're looking into the future--and we have the Growing Forward up and we've gone through this trough, and hopefully you've had some good years--do you think the Growing Forward program would trigger solutions quicker?
