Thank you, Chair.
We did find, as the questioner mentioned, that the department fell short on the service standards it had set, only reaching 66%. In a sense, the picture gets worse when you start bringing in unprocessed files.
Our main concern was that from the time the application comes in to the time the cheque finally gets there, it can be as much as two years. Our concern, of course, is that this is a program designed to support revenue losses by agricultural producers, and two years is a long time to wait to get that financial aid.
