Madam Chair, it depends on a number of factors that are weather related and market related and what the reference margin was to begin with. I can assure the hon. member that with the way these programs are run, the smaller farmers are done first and the large corporate farmers are actually done towards the end of the program year. They know it is coming. They generally have better financial situations so they can carry it. As long as they get an indication of what they are going to get, they seem to be okay with that.
I can assure the hon. member that the larger farms do not take precedent over the smaller farms.
