Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank our witnesses for being here. We are getting to know some of you rather well; we're beginning to think that you enjoy coming here.
My comments will relate to the discussions I had earlier with the minister, even though I know you won't be able to make comments on political matters. What I was saying to the minister was that Quebec managed to find some additional funds by offering zero-interest loans to give agricultural businesses more liquidity.
When I spoke about the Canadian Business Emergency Account, it was meant as an example of complementary investment. I'd like to say to my friend Mr. Drouin that my comments were directly related to the subject being discussed today, which is investment in agriculture.
My question is this. Have you had discussions to determine whether the federal government will join Quebec in introducing a complementary measure? Once again, I'm not talking about AgriRecovery, but rather supplementary funds that could be made available to producers.
