I can't say that I've seen a public statement, but I've heard they're not in favour of it. They seem to feel it's going to impose some kind of undue financial stress, when the reality is.... I mean, it's a program we had some 20-odd years ago that is looking to be reintroduced. It will give some financial assurance to producers, especially in your area, which is large in horticulture production. When they send a product to market, they're going to get paid for it in the event of a buyer's insolvency or non-payment.
