I believe the Cattlemen's Association was before the committee last week, or a couple of weeks ago, and they also indicated that they need a national business risk assessment program that works for livestock producers. This is basically the same thing. I'm wondering if you could comment.
They also said they are asking for this: “...offer the better of the Olympic and previous three-year average on reference margin calculation; eliminate the viability test;...increase coverage to 70% of negative margins;...remove the caps from AgriInvest and AgriStability”. They had also mentioned two points specific to Ontario, which were to enhance reference margins by allowing inclusion of BSE payments and allow producers the better of AgriStability tier one or AgriInvest.
If these changes to the existing program were made, how would that impact on you? Do you have anything to add to that? What are your comments with respect to these?
