If I may, I'd like to respond to you on risk management.

I agree with Ms. Ward on the AgriStability program that it would take a majority of provinces to sign on to for changes to occur. When we hear about a 100% rate to increase AgriStability margins, we find that incomprehensible. There are only two provinces that don't want to follow suit, while the problem is glaring in all the other provinces. We need to find a way to merge the answers and move forward. This is a program that should be tailored to our farms.
