Yes. In my opinion, lots of things can be done to improve the program. First of all, there's lots and lots of paperwork. We need to make the paperwork similar to and work more in conjunction with the income tax. Also, we need to simplify the calculations. We need to have the forms spitting out calculations for the producers instantly rather than waiting for them to be processed, which can take months.
In my experience and from what I've seen, because of the time delay in the program, farmers can be back in the good years by the time the payout ever happens. They're not getting the money when they need it and when they're going through the rough times. We need to work on speeding up this process so that when disaster happens—for instance, this fall, when people couldn't get product to market because of the rail strike and were having cash flow issues—they're able to get the money. We need programs that get money to the producers right away to help sustain their farming operations.
