At the time, we met with Minister MacAulay together. Overall, the minister was receptive and listened to your concerns, as you said earlier. Obviously, the federal government contributes 60% of program funding, with the provinces and territories providing 40%. The department officials following these proceedings know they have a responsibility.
We were basically told that the federal government sets out the guidelines but that it was up to the other government to implement them, in this case, the Quebec government. As you mentioned, Quebec's response was about the same, saying that it couldn't do anything under the framework it had been given. At the end of the day, farmers are the ones who suffer the consequences. Still, some changes were made. I remember going to see you and you showing me the numbers.
How did the governments adjust the programs, and what effect did it have on your business?
