Agriculture committee  Thank you for the question, Mr. Perron. I think the funding came from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. I would like to turn the floor over to Ms. Lapointe or Mr. Morel on that subject.

Agriculture committee  You mean the costs of AgriStability? No, the fees would not change this year.

Agriculture committee  I will defer to colleagues from the agency on that.

Agriculture committee  I'm sorry to be so difficult, Mr. Chair. I will try calling back in on my phone, because my computer is really about to crash and I don't seem to be able to save it. If it's okay with you, I will try that.

Agriculture committee  I'm not sure we can provide all of that, but we should be able to provide some of that. In fact, I apologize if it's been requested and we have not provided it, because our goal is always to follow up promptly to committee requests.

Agriculture committee  On the rail situation, as the minister mentioned, we are quite engaged—as she is with her counterparts, and we are, of course, at the officials level—in working with the sector to make sure that all of the challenges arising from a strike or stoppage in work are well understood b

Agriculture committee  I'm sorry, Mr. Chair. I'm having a computer problem, and I'm worried my battery is going to die. My computer seems to be crashing. I will stay with you as long as it lasts, but I'm having screen and other failures.

Agriculture committee  My colleague, Madam Guérard, is there if there are questions.

Public Accounts committee  The answer is yes, we will, for sure. We've certainly done that widely on the food security funding both in advance and as the program is rolled out. We will continue to build on existing relationships that we've developed during COVID, and we'll certainly look for ways to ensure

Public Accounts committee  The six organizations that were chosen all had a network that covered the entire country. Therefore, the fact that they were well‑established organizations with significant networks led to them being chosen. In fact, that allowed for funding or food to reach food banks all across

Public Accounts committee  Yes, of course. I don't have the financial data of each of our partners in front of me, but every time that we sign an agreement with an organization, we look at their financial statements.

Public Accounts committee  If I recall correctly, the program, which offered a $40,000 loan with $10,000 available for loan forgiveness, targeted all small businesses across the country. I will go back and review the program's eligibility criteria, but nothing seems to indicate that the organization was in
