So it is lower than the funding in 2008.
We have talked a great deal about the next strategic framework, held consultations in committee and issued recommendations. Can you tell me about the importance of ensuring that producers will have the necessary tools? Risk management programs such as AgriInvest will have to provide good tools to help producers deal with a variety of contingencies.
I would also like to know what happens when disasters occur. We can use Montreal as an example. Let's assume that bridges are closed and that we cannot send food to the Island of Montreal. Is Canada prepared to manage such a serious crisis? How will we ensure food security? Is that an element that should be included in our discussions on food policy or is it rather the responsibility of the Minister of Public Safety?
