Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Right now, business risk management programs or BRM represent around 53% of the total departmental budget. The 2012-2013 fiscal year is the final year for programs under the Growing Forward policy framework. Next year, the estimates will be for the new Growing Forward 2 policy framework.

With Growing Forward 2, can we expect to see a shift in spending from BRM programs to programs that will not be BRM-related?
