And there's a linkage. That formula links to the share of farm cash receipts across the country. It's a long-standing formula that has been used around the cost-shared programming in terms of how much of that overall amount of money.... I think we mentioned at the outset that there's $2 billion. We referred to our Growing Forward 2 framework as a $3-billion framework, but that does not include the business risk management expenditures. As I said, that $3 billion is over five years, and under the business risk management suite of programming we expend federally approximately $1.2 billion each year. It's a big amount of money, but of that $3 billion that's earmarked for the framework, $2 billion is for cost-shared strategic initiatives, and that $2 billion is shared, $1.2 billion by the federal government and $800 million by provinces and territories, and that's distributed over a five-year period.
Every province and territory provides us with what they expect to spend on an annual basis against the amount of money that's allocated for them. If they're unable to spend it, as Pierre mentioned, there is provision in the agreement for us to re-profile up to 25% of what they haven't spent against their planned expenditures.
We had a problem at the outset of the framework because some provinces took longer than others to set up their programs. In the first year there definitely was greater slippage in terms of the amount of money they were able to spend, but that re-profile provision gives them flexibility to continue to access that money in the next fiscal year, up to 25% of their planned spending. They really like it.
