Thank you, Chair.
Through you, Chair, I want to welcome everybody here today. It's very interesting information that you have provided to us.
And I apologize for sneaking out; I had a constituent call, so I had to talk to them. They had sort of an urgent thing going on. My apologies for missing part of the presentations.
Having said that, there were a couple of things I wanted to address. I guess I'll start with Mr. Lampron.
I was looking at your presentation here on page five, and particularly the bottom part where you talk about a “program for farmers, delivered by farmers, involving other industry partners”. In particular, you talk about the flexibility in terms of certainly what we're facing in terms of some potential reduction in allocation of funding.
I'm wondering if you could give us a real good flavour of how you see that flexibility happening, who that should be working with, and if you have any particular projects that you believe are very important as part of that process.
