Thank you, Mr. Williams.
Before we go to the second round, I have an issue I want to pursue with you, Deputy, and this involves the change in the procedure that took place within the department for, I believe, the 2004 crop year.
According to the auditor's report, the change in the procedure or the policies took place after approximately 20% of the CAIS applications were filed and processed. The change in the procedure led to an increase in eligibility for the CAIS payments, and in one case identified by the auditor, the farm applicant received an additional $90,000 because of the change in the procedure, which was good. It was substantial.
My concern and the concern that was raised within the auditor's report is that the 20% who had already filed and had their applications processed based upon the old rules most likely left an underpayment on the table. To be fair and equitable to all farm communities, I would have liked to see—and I didn't see it identified—that for the 20% who actually filed and had their applications processed, the department would go back and take each and every one of them so that these farmers, if they were in fact eligible for an additional payment, would have received the payment.
Has that been done?
