Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that very much.
I want to thank the witnesses for joining us and for patiently coping with the technical difficulties.
Mr. Forbes, I want to hear your opinion on the AgriInvest program issue that I raised with Minister Bibeau earlier. The witnesses we heard from argued that the AgriInvest program is used to invest in and modernize businesses. The producers didn't necessarily want to empty their accounts, especially since they don't all have money in those accounts.
Where do you stand on this in the current situation? Should people be asked to use up their savings before they receive assistance?
