I want to talk about AgriStability for a moment. Mr. Barlow referenced it, and of course it was his government that cut it from an 85% reference margin, but he talked about certain statistics. I want to confirm them with you.

AgriStability is currently at a 70% reference margin, which means that if farms were to go beyond that reference margin, that would trigger AgriStability if they're involved, and it would cover up to 70%, which would be almost 50% of the gross farm margins. Is that correct?
