Thank you, Mr. Lemire.
Actually, I want to make an appeal from the heart.
I am quite surprised to see that the door seems to be closed on compensation. Yet, it is easy to pay out the amounts. The amounts are set, and they are not new expenses. Negotiations in this regard are over. We would be putting money on the ground, in a sector that is very much affected.
I would like to say this to the ministers, especially Ms. Bibeau: the existing programs are not working. In fact, only 30% of people are benefiting from the AgriStability program. There needs to be a special fund, an emergency measure.
We want an announcement now; at the very least, we would like to know the date. When are you going to make an announcement for the farming community?
