Certainly, there is the core program we have through the NPF itself. That has other strategic initiative programs, as well as the core risk management programs, which we're discussing here today.
Part of my testimony earlier touched on how, given the significance of the agri-food sector as a whole, we feel there needs to be an increased emphasis on it beyond further reinvestments in those programs within the NPF to also that whole-of-government approach.
You mentioned things like the superdeduction tax piece for capital deduction, which we were very happy to see. It would apply to food manufacturers when they're building a new factory. We are also encouraged to see a reintroduction of the accelerated deductions across the board. That's an area, as you mentioned, where we feel a whole-of-government approach makes sense, and that can be expanded even beyond the processing and manufacturing sector to primary agriculture as well.
Farming is an incredibly capital-intensive business. If those same superdeduction rules were to apply to farm buildings and particularly farm machinery—the majority of farm capital expenses are in farm machinery—that would make a tremendous difference in farmers' confidence to invest.
Another piece that I hinted at was that in our farm business confidence survey of our membership that we run each year, we do see a decline in confidence and investment in those capital purchases over the past few years, given all of the uncertainties. Those types of tax policies can help regalvanize that confidence in farmers to make $100,000 or $1-million investments in machinery that has—
