Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Lessard, you spoke about the importance of the advance payments program. You said just how essential it is for it to become permanent in order to provide predictability. You also referred to an amount of $350,000 that is broadly supported.
The government has just released an economic update. Obviously, I think we all felt that this exercise could have been as simple as an email. Overall, for agriculture, it largely repeats existing measures. In this context, the increased limit of $250,000 is being maintained for just one year.
Are you satisfied with that and with the overall measures announced for agriculture in the economic update? Does the government understand the urgency of the situation?
