Good afternoon.
With respect to capping the reference margin, we consider this to be an unfair measure. This measure targets some production sectors more than others. As an example, take maple syrup production in Quebec, a sector that has few eligible expenses and that requires significant support based on the fluctuations in annual yield due to weather conditions, which are always uncertain in spring.
That is one of the sticking points for us. This measure needs to be reviewed, to eliminate it or at least come up with something else that will be fairer for the various agricultural production sectors in Canada.
