Public Accounts committee  I don't have that off the top of my head.

Public Accounts committee  We have concluded our negotiations to implement the suite.

Public Accounts committee  With all provinces.

Public Accounts committee  There were actually 18 identified as potentially in a conflict of interest. At that point, we sent out letters to all 18, saying they could not do this, and that if they were doing such a thing they would have to disclose. Five employees had disclosed that they were filling out f

Public Accounts committee  They did respond. It was sent out to all 18 of them, and they were told that if they were in that situation, they'd have to fill it out. Only five said they were in this situation. The other 13 were not.

Public Accounts committee  As the deputy has stated, we have been working very hard in terms of continuous improvement. One of the things the Auditor General had noticed was that while we did collect key data, whether from our call centres or from our field audits, we would get those data and improve those

Agriculture committee  No. This was to help support the increased cost of production. It was an additional $400 million. In addition, just on those numbers--and I can't talk about specifics--when the $400 million went out from the cost-of-production program, the first payment went out at 90% so we coul

Agriculture committee  Actually the consultations were on all programs and all policies that we did. We consulted over 3,000 producers in terms of the “Growing Forward” consultations to see where we were going, and we did hear a lot about options at those. There wasn't a consultation per se about optio

Agriculture committee  The comments were very much in terms of questioning its applicability and how it would work, and that was part of why limiting the second year was identified as a potential way of still testing the pilot, still getting what we needed to try to learn whether that will help, withou

Agriculture committee  I don't have the numbers per se on me, so we will submit them to you in terms of the provincial breakdown, if that's okay. We can provide all the provincial breakdowns in addition to the full amount.
