Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the ministers for appearing before our committee today. I'm very grateful that you have taken the time. I will start off with Minister Bibeau.
Minister, you have made it abundantly clear that these are very challenging times for our farmers. You've also touched on how incredibly important it is that there be federal and provincial co-operation.
One program, the business risk management program, allows our farmers to mitigate and manage risk. As I understand it, it's a cost-sharing program between the federal and provincial levels of government. Could you explain to us whether there has been co-operation between the different levels of government and how you have experienced that?
