There was talk about the province having a role to play in BRM programming. Sometimes people say the federal minister should take leadership and implement these changes. Can you tell me about the relationship between provincial agriculture ministers and the federal agriculture minister and how it affects changes in programming? Can the agriculture minister just charge forward, say he is making changes, and tell the provinces, “By golly, these are the changes, take it or leave it”? Or is there some sort of consensus that must be raised? What might be some of the driving factors that the province uses to make its decisions on whether it will support pending changes right now or not?
I realize that I'm short on time, so just a short answer on that, perhaps, would be helpful.
