Yes, I do have some questions on the bill, Mr. Chair, in a moment. Initially, though, I would like to point out that on this bill we had offered in the House that the bill go through all three stages in the House. One party decided to send it to committee first. That's fine. We understand that. But it's certainly our objective, as the official opposition, to get the bill through the House of Commons through all stages, and ensure that we get the cooperation of the Senate to get it through all stages there, so that the moneys can be made available to co-operatives, to farmers, and in particular to young farmers as soon as it can be implemented after passage. Hopefully that will be early summer.
To the witnesses, how long will it take for the bill to become operational after it passes the House of Commons and gains royal assent? I don't think that should be a cumbersome issue, because it already is operating. This is really new moneys under other areas.
Do you have any responses there?
