Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I'd like to thank the presenters here today.
As we can sense here, what your industry is going through is very frustrating. We've often seen over the years that when a disease hits any commodity, whether it's in the poultry sector or whatever, CFIA acts quickly, for various reasons, and they act quickly because of our international standards and what not. But often, as we're hearing today, the costs and the work fall on the farmers, in how they deal with it and how they get through it.
My question deals with the assistance. I need a clearer picture of what financial assistance came forth after things happened to you, with some numbers per pound or per acreage. What assistance came through with the available programs like AgriRecovery? Also, what programs should have been there, I guess, instead of the programs that are in place right now?
It doesn't matter who answers the question. I know you're from different parts of the country, but it doesn't matter. Maybe each one of you can answer that question.
