Thanks for that clarification. Sorry, but I have to get in one more question.

I'll return to Mr. Carey and Mr. McClean of the Canadian Canola Growers Association.

Mr. McClean, you mentioned that you want the federal government to act now. You want to see that federal leadership in advance of the meeting in October. The Canadian agricultural partnership amending formula for AgriStability requires a certain percentage of the provinces to jump in to amend it. How does it mesh with that amending formula? Do you want the federal government to say, “Look, we're not going to wait for the provinces. We see that the need is great, and we're going to step in to fill the breach now”?
