Madam Speaker, I appreciate what my friend has said. That is the type of frustration we see on the farm. We have so many examples of where people will spend hours and hours trying to figure out the CAIS forms. They then take them to an accountant and spend $1,000, $2,000 or $4,000 on these things, only to find out after many months that they do not even qualify for a payout of any kind. That is beyond ridiculous. It is cruel that the government would not fix these problems that have persisted for two and a half years since the CAIS program came into being. It is time to start acting on this and to fix some of these problems.
