The Province of Alberta recognizes the benefit of the beef industry. They stepped right in and stood behind their producers, as they always have. They've done a great job of standing behind their producers. The federal government has basically let them do that. The rest of the provinces cannot come up with the money to roll out programs as rich and productive--I believe it was a $300 million program.
On the role of the federal government, they should not allow one province to run this industry. Other provinces that have an equal number of farmers in the business should stay in business and not lose it all to one area.
