Mr. Pierre Corriveau at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Committee

On March 7th, 2016. See this statement in context.

March 7th, 2016 / 4 p.m.

Assistant Deputy Minister, Corporate Management Branch, Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food

I would like to add something for the new members of the committee.

In many cases, statutory programs are not discussed in detail. The funds are not subject to votes. For instance, in the list of the supplementary estimates, we see an amount of $1.3 billion. That explains why the discussion here is not focused on that point. Most of those programs are implemented by the provinces. There are four main risk management programs. Apart from the AgriInvest program, which is implemented by the feds, except in Quebec, most of the other programs are implemented by the provinces.

I just wanted to put things into perspective.
