Mr. MacGregor, I certainly appreciate your question.
Sometimes, as I've said, it would be good to look at some of these programs but, of course, what we have to do as a government is.... The province has to tabulate all the difficulties, all the things that qualify for the program. Then they send it to Ottawa.
We have to follow the criteria that's established with the provinces and territories. We don't have the flexibility to do what we want either. It's decided at a federal-provincial conference as to how these programs work, and we must follow it too, so that's what we do.
I have to say, Alistair, that I have a great rapport with your Minister of Agriculture. I've talked to her a number of times. Just to highlight that, I called her one day when I thought she was going to a fire, but instead of that she was going to a flood, which pretty much explains what a situation we are in, in the world.
