Thank you very much.
Mr. Wells, I really appreciated the meeting we had earlier this week. It's always great talking with you and working with you.
I know we talked a bit about the agri-stability program. Over the last few years, we know that fewer and fewer farmers are using that program. In Growing Forward 2, there were a lot of cuts by the last government. Now I think we have a chance to do the study, meet with witnesses, take their expertise, and try to make sure that in the next framework we arm farmers with the tools necessary.
We talked a little about crops in Saskatchewan having some challenges this year. I wonder if you could explain to us the importance of programs such as agri-stability, getting them right and making sure that they fit the actual needs of farmers and the climate we're in presently.
