Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Forbes, Ms. Walker, thank you for coming today.
I hope that we will gets more meaningful answers during our second hour. That said, Mr. Forbes and Ms. Walker, I don't want drag you into our little political sparring match with the minister. I'm sure you will be able to answer my questions.
Of the $250 million budget of the dairy farm investment program. I believe that one hundred million dollars have already been paid out to producers, or thereabouts. Would it be possible to tell us how many applications have been submitted and how many have been approved?
I am still wondering how this money was distributed to farmers. On what basis did you give funding? It would be wonderful to know.
