Agriculture committee  I'm very sorry to say that we won't have enough money this time either. We are looking at which criteria would allow for more flexibility, so that we can consider a large number of applications. However, I am pretty sure that the $20 million will be used up quickly.

Agriculture committee  Thank you. I was not aware of what had happened with the Canadian Space Agency. That said, on our end, the fertilizer tariff remains in effect. Perhaps Mr. Rosser would like to add something. I was pleased to see that our clients had managed to find other sources, which are certainly no cheaper.

Agriculture committee  It's $3 million.

Agriculture committee  I'm sorry, but I wouldn't have details on that. I can assure you, though, that we have regular contact with the Canadian Cattle Association. They would have had responses and discussions throughout. I'm sure we're not yet at a solution. In any case, if this falls under our sustainable Canadian agricultural partnership, we need a solution that works for the partners in the provinces and territories as well.

Agriculture committee  Thank you.

Agriculture committee  There's a range of questions there. We have a significant number of programs that support young and diverse farmers coming into the community. This is extremely important for the future of the sector. In fact, in pretty much every single one of our programs, we have extra oversight to ensure that if a successful applicant does fall into one of the categories, they may be eligible for extra funding.

Agriculture committee  We have significant funds in place to support the supply management sector and a range of different programs under that. However, before I go into that, I would like to add one more thing I find particularly admirable about supply management: It helps cut down on food loss and waste, which is something we haven't talked about yet today.

Agriculture committee  I'm sorry.

Agriculture committee  It is deeply worrisome, of course, and we're tracking it very closely. We can't intervene directly with the railroads in the union discussions, but we are feeding pretty much daily information to our colleagues at both Transport Canada and Labour so they understand what the impacts will be.

Agriculture committee  There are some variables. Tom, I don't know if you have that information with you. Otherwise, we could share it with you later.

Agriculture committee  The way the budget process works is that we send proposals in and then discussions happen about our proposals. We don't have conversations about anything else that might be under discussion.

Agriculture committee  I'm saying it would not have been the kind of proposal we would have made.

Agriculture committee  We do, absolutely. On a weekly basis, in fact, we're tracking all kinds of different costs. We have strong collaboration with our colleagues at Statistics Canada, but we do our own tracking and analysis as well. You will probably have seen the results out of Statistics Canada from yesterday looking at some of the costs.

Agriculture committee  Yes, I'm happy to. We're very pleased to have opened the office in Manila as part of the Canadian government's Indo-Pacific strategy. It's broader than just us, but this is Agriculture Canada's contribution. The staff there will be ultimately nine people. There are four people currently there, and two more are arriving over the summer.

Agriculture committee  I wouldn't have been there through that consultation period. Normally, it's yes. I can assure you that since it has come out, and in the period right now where there is a pause in effect because of what has been happening in the courts, we have been in very close contact. Frankly, I would say it's on a daily basis.
