Yes, getting funding outside the political cycle would afford the industry greater predictability. When we go and see our members to raise funds, we're seeking funding for the long term, not just for a few months.
We're seeking a broader form of cooperation, such as a coalition. The processors, for example, help us with certain initiatives.
It would be much easier to manage funding if we could rely on a partnership with the government. If we know we have long-term funding, we'll be able to rally all our members and go after additional funding from the industry.
