We're looking for action now. We've been calling for action almost since this started, and we haven't had much of a response. As you heard earlier, our current suite of business risk management programs aren't working for anybody. We've been asking for the last four and a half years to get adjustments and changes to our business risk management programs, and nothing has happened. To hear that's their road of perhaps salvation for the industry is very discouraging, because it's not going to work. It doesn't work now because people don't enrol in a lot of the programs because the programs are not effective and they're slow in reacting.
AgriStability is a safety net program that has been very underutilized because it's not effective and it's not time sensitive. That's the big problem with AgriStability. It's not effective in a lot of sectors in the industry.
We need action now, not only to keep our people's heads above water but also because we're going to see the long-term effects of this. There are a lot of people who have invested in their businesses, and facilities are being built. Mortgages have been taken out on those new facilities, but with cutbacks, people are not able to make their mortgage payments consistently. Destruction in the industry might lead to people exiting the industry long beyond the near future. It might go on for several years as people struggle to get out of this.
