Mr. Dessureault, you talked about a number of projects. Nobody can say the beef producers have not done their homework in that area. You have just injected an additional $30 million in capital in the company. You are planning a number of projects, including an integrated cutting room at the slaughterhouse. In your final comments, you mentioned that the assistance has to take the form of capital payments, as opposed to loans. I am sure you read La terre de chez nous, which has been around for 80 years now. You obviously have not been reading it for 80 years, but I have no doubt that you read the comments made by the Minister of State for Agriculture, Jean-Pierre Blackburn, who talked about a repayable loan for Levinoff-Colbex in his interview with the reporter—the reporter quotes Mr. Blackburn's comments.
So, that totally conflicts with what the beef producers are asking for, which is a subsidy. You have done your homework. You were excluded from the initial programs that were brought forward.
This time, however, there is another program, which will apparently provide $50 million over a three-year period all across Canada. That is not exactly a fortune; we agree on that. However, do you think that this news could jeopardize the slaughterhouse's plans? How do you see that? What is your assessment of the situation?
