When I started in March 2007, the business risk management programs were at the initial conceptual stage. I worked on it with my department, and I discussed it with my federal-provincial deputy colleagues. At the time, our minister met with his provincial colleagues. We had extensive consultations with the industry.
In agriculture, as you know, sir, it's joint jurisdiction. All of the decisions we make are made with the provinces. They have been fully involved, and we have the ministers' agreement. Hopefully we will have these programs be more successful than what we've had so far.
