I referred to existing programs, such as the Canadian agricultural partnership program, which has been established for quite some time. We feel that since these are programs for farming operations, many of them would translate very well to the aquaculture industry, which, as I mentioned, is really a farming industry. Programs for income stabilization, disaster relief and business risk management are already established for Canadian terrestrial farmers.
Certainly, our national organization, CAIA, the Canadian Aquaculture Industry Association, has been talking about piloting business risk management programs similar to those under CAP for the shellfish aquaculture industry for some time. There's no point in reinventing the wheel. The programs are there already. Aquaculture just needs to be able to either access the existing programs or have a subsidiary program set up for just the aquaculture sector, basically based on the same model.
They are already there and working. They may not be perfect. I'm sure there are some farmers you could speak to who would probably say they are not, but it would certainly be something we would like to see.
