For me, $900 million is a lot of money. It is not my money. It is taxpayers' money. We are working with the provincial governments to see how we can make sure that the money is distributed as equitably as possible and as quickly as possible.
We are working with the provincial governments to see what can be improved in the proposition. The future of farming in the west has been discussed over a long period of time between the provincial and federal governments.
