Mr. Gilroy, earlier, you were telling us that the AgriRecovery program had been useful to your producers in the aftermath of certain natural disasters, such as tornados.
You are eligible for AgriRecovery because AgriStability is currently working for you. The Olympic average of the AgriStability program is currently high enough to allow you to benefit from this program in the areas of truck farming and horticultural production. However, you could just as well be ruled ineligible for this program, as was the case for cash crop producers with low averages over a 10-year period. The fact remains that this is the kind of program under which you could have not benefited from the assistance you received following the tornado had the natural disaster been preceded by several poor or average years.
I would like to know what you think about this.
In the case of AgriStability, many testimonies echoed what you said when we discussed the program for agricultural stabilization. Witnesses have said that we should, at least, take into account production costs in order to avoid outcomes where certain categories of producers are unable to benefit from the program for several years.
Is your opinion of the CAIS program still de same as it was in the past?
