Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, folks, for coming and for the interesting presentations.
I'll start with the cattle producers first. Allan, we are doing a tour of the plant this afternoon, so the committee will get a chance to see some of the difficulty with the specified risk material removal and the plant operation.
Just with regard to the AgriStability reference margins, I want to be sure about what you're asking to hear. Last year there was in fact $900 million less than what I feel should have been triggered that was spent on safety nets. I'd rather see the money in farmers' hands than in those of the Department of Finance, to be honest with you. All that needed to be done was to change the viability test and the way the reference margins were calculated. It still would have been compatible with trade agreements. Is that basically what you're asking for with your Olympic averaging, changing it to say your best three years?
