The minister was here the other day claiming it was. The Ontario Cattlemen's Association and the Ontario Federation of Agriculture have a big ad in today's Hill Times, saying it's not. So I'll just put that on the record.
It's now five months less five days since your letter of October 27, 2009, was written to the minister. We supported that letter here. The opposition supported strenuously a motion from André to get that money out there.
All this time later, I assume your position is still the same: that the money is based on a per-head basis. It's $25 million. It is in the budget, we think. We just don't know how.
Has the government given you any timeline as to when this money will actually be out there, and what it's going to mean to producers at the production level?
