Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I will start with a point of order. I am seeking the unanimous consent from the members of the committee to move a motion concerning a very urgent situation in Quebec. I will read it, if I may, so that committee members can know exactly what it entails:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee undertake a study on the financial impacts of the summer 2018 drought for Quebec producers; that this study consist of at least two meetings; that the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and his officials be invited to appear in order to explain the refusal to accept changes to the crop insurance program that would make the claims admissible for producers affected by the drought of the summer 2018 in Bas-Saint-Laurent, Chaudière-Appalaches, Gaspésie-les-Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean and Abitibi-Témiscamingue; and that representatives of the producers affected by this drought be invited to appear.
I had the opportunity to visit Bas-Saint-Laurent twice, where I talked to producers. It seems like Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada is willing to recognize that the calculation method isn't good, but only for 2019.
