Yes, I would.
We have a program in Saskatchewan that's available in Alberta and some of the other provinces that are involved. It's at Saskatchewan Crop Insurance. That program works very well. It's time-sensitive. If you have a yield loss on a certain crop or variety of crops, you put in a claim. Your claim is reviewed within days and you have a cheque in the mail. Those things are so important.
I'm not saying that we should get rid of AgriStability or AgriInvest. I'm saying that we can make them better. There's an old saying, “If it's not broke, don't fix it.” This program needs some repair. It's not totally collapsed, but we need to make changes to it so it's more time-sensitive and more expense is allowed, so that producers have an opportunity to get some support to help them maintain this.
We have to realize that family farms in the province of Saskatchewan are so important to our industry and to the growth of productivity. They contribute to our GDP. We really have to be cognizant of those things.
