The biggest complaint of primary producers from the last report that you did was, indeed, the timeliness of the cheques they received. The department agreed, if my memory is correct, that they would learn from that, adjust it, and make it good. Here we are again, a couple of years later, with a report on another program under the auspices of the same department, under BRM—albeit AgriRecovery is kind of a subset thereof—and we're back to the same spot. One-third of those claims are not being paid in a timely manner.
According to the report, the obvious outcome is outlined on page 11 in the English, under exhibit 8.4. I don't expect you to respond to this, Mr. Ferguson, but In my view it's a really optimistic go-forward from the situation in 2011, when it was said that they were going to fix the timeliness of the programs. The biggest complaint of farmers across this country in BRM programming is timeliness. There's no sense in getting money the year after the year that you actually needed it to replant a crop that was devastated the year before.
I appreciate timeliness, and I'm probably out of time, Mr. Chair.
