I have another question.

The Lever program is a federal-provincial initiative—funded at a rate of 94% by the federal government—which helps agri-food industry people buy processing equipment. In this case, maple sap is what is being processed.

Does the Lever program provide some flexibility to help our maple syrup producers acquire equipment for primary, secondary or tertiary processing, improve their products, manufacture new products and increase their production volume?
