Thank you very much.

My question goes to the officials from the Union des producteurs agricoles.

I will not ask you to take a position on the situation in other provinces, but we do know that the costs of the risk management programs are shared. The federal share is 60% and the provincial share is 40%.

Have you had discussions with officials from the Government of Quebec? Have they shown any willingness to invest more money in risk management programs?
