Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Yes, I will share my time with Mr. Epp.
Good afternoon, Minister.
It is a pleasure to have you with us. Thank you for joining us this afternoon.
I have a question about compensations for egg and poultry producers. According to our recent discussions with them, they don't really want to receive a cheque. They would much prefer to get investment credits to improve their productivity. I assume there is a very direct link to the Department of Finance.
In addition to the ongoing talks between the department and producers, is the Department of Finance also involved in that issue?
