Mr. Chair, I will.
I'm glad to see the government is reading my report, “Empowering Canadian Farmers in the Marketplace”. It's just too bad they won't act on it a little more strenuously.
Anyway, to the point I was going to raise on AgriFlexibility, Mr. Chair, when I travel through Ontario and a wee bit in Quebec, there's strong support for an AgriFlexibility program that can actually be used as a companion program for ASRA in Quebec and business risk management, or RMP, in Ontario.
The minister promised there would be an AgriFlexibility program; however, it doesn't meet the requirements the farm industry had asked for in terms of AgriFlexibility. As a result, there is concern among farmers that it's not being used properly. In fact, we're beginning to see now that AgriFlexibility is really a slush fund for the minister to do the little things he wants to do instead of being used as a companion program to RMP and ASRA, as was the intent of the industry in the beginning.
