The program that's now called AgriStability went through several different name changes over the past 15 years. The chair would remember lots of them, but CAIS was one acronym. The program was sort of evolving but it had these different names. The Conservatives again changed the name in 2006-07 to AgriStability. Changing the name didn't really hurt the program, but a few years later at the summer meeting in Whitehorse, the minister changed the triggers. It's fairly complicated to try to describe, but as a result of what the minister did, farmers' losses had to be much worse before they could trigger a payment and the payments themselves were much smaller than they would have been previously. So any kind of change that would at least return the program to what it was under the Liberal administration would be a step in the right direction and, naturally, there are probably other improvements that could be made at the same time.
