Agriculture committee  With respect to the disaster, it's the cover crop program. For 2005-06 it's $15 an acre for unseeded acreage. The minister referred to Saskatchewan and Manitoba as being the primary beneficiaries, but the program is national. So if there is unseeded acreage in other provinces, it would be very small.

Agriculture committee  Again, under the ruminate slaughter equity assistance program, it's been fully subscribed. I understand the situation you're talking about. There were entities that were looking for money in advance of program approval. There is no plan to go back and reopen the program and no plan in terms of retroactive enrolment for entities that were up and running before program approval.

Agriculture committee  There were basically three programs put in place by the government to help with the issue of increased slaughter capacity in Canada. One was called the ruminant slaughter loan loss reserve program. That would help industries or entities seeking debt financing to access that through the financial institutions.

Agriculture committee  Yes.
