Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for coming, Minister. I would also like to thank Ms. Beck and Dr. Kochhar for their time and for making themselves available.
Minister, Quebec's vegetable producers sounded the alarm last summer after historic torrential rain. The situation was extremely difficult for producers. An average of nearly 60% of crops were lost. There was an appeal for help several months ago now. The Quebec government came through with interest-free loans, but the federal government has not yet responded.
Do you intend to do anything about this? The Quebec government repeated its announcement last week and requested activation of the AgriRecovery program.
