Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I just have another question. Farmers are really hurting and they're still waiting. It's mind-boggling and incredibly long in coming. The existing programs aren't doing the job and winter is nearly here.

Could you give me an estimate as to when the farmers in the Pontiac will get an answer regarding AgriRecovery? Do you have a date in mind as to when people will get a real answer? I know you have 45 business days to respond, but do you have a deadline regardless?

Would you be able to tell us when, please?
