I've had a conversation with a few farmers in my riding. One of the issues they want fixed for the next program is on AgriInnovation. I know that's a cost-shared program with the province. It was the timing of application.
Growing Forward 1 was essentially one application per year, or one timeline. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand from them that under Growing Forward 2, they can make four quarterly applications.
Part of the issue is that they appreciate it, but it's just that the timing of investment is key and it doesn't necessarily correspond with when they need it. If there's a way to fix the application process so it can meet the time of investment, which is extremely important for them, that would be appreciated.
I know you've had some consultations. I want to know if you've heard about this before.
