Mr. Speaker, this morning in rural caucus as we met at 7.40 individual members from Ontario were discussing how serious this situation is and how it is affecting our producers. Individuals talked about hog producers. We wonder what their future will be. There is an overproduction and commodity prices are at an all time low, and following the Asian flu there is less demand.
I have many neighbours who are involved in supply management and are thankful that the government is supporting that. There are also many people who grow cereals and grains who are concerned about the future.
I am glad to see the motion on the floor. At committee we supported bringing the motion forward, although we may have wanted to change a few words in it. This is a serious crisis.
