This is farmers' money. There's also a precedent in the first-home ownership RRSP tax waiver. Instead of always going to the federal-provincial governments and asking for money for agriculture—and I know people are already wondering why there is $1.3 billion sitting there not being used—we're saying not to force farmers to do it, but create an incentive so that if farmers pull out that money and invest it, say in something like a project that Gay Lea might have, to develop a market or a grain handling project or a farmer-owned fertilizer project...they are investing in something that will maximize future revenue. Then, of course, they will be taxed on that once it happens. We're saying, in the meantime, waive the taxes to create an incentive for farmers to pull it out and invest it, rather than having it sit there, because I know already that people are getting concerned that government money is flowing into an account almost like a black hole and it is sitting there.
A farmer's age also makes a difference. Older farmers might say they are going to keep the money in there because they need a nest egg, but I think young farmers are quite willing to stick their necks out and invest it, and they won't pull the money out if they're in a taxable year anyway. Who would do that if they had to pay 30% taxes on it?
