CAIS
Mr.
Gerry Ritz (Battlefords—Lloydminster, CPC): Mr. Speaker, the
Minister of Agriculture is on the record as saying that the much awaited,
long delayed review of the CAIS program would begin on December 1. Has
that review started and if not, why not?
Hon. Andy Mitchell (Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, Lib.):
Mr. Speaker, at this time we are assembling the personnel who will be
conducting that review. We have asked for nominations, both from
provincial governments and from the private sector. We have received some
of those names and we are awaiting some additional ones. Once all of the
personnel are in place we will commence that review as quickly as we
possibly can. I had hoped we would have it in place on December 1. It will
take a few more days, but we will get it in place as soon as we possibly
can.
