Mr. Speaker, the member knows full well that he has never had any debate with me on the notion of comprehensive tax reform. I have spent 12 years on the issue and I pray and hope that one day the executive of the government will become seized with that issue.
We all have issues that we feel passionately about. I agree with the member that comprehensive tax reform is something we need. However, I am not separating tax reform from any part of any issue in the House of Commons. It is critical and it needs dealing with.
The question the member for Yorkton—Melville asked me today was what can we do to make city folk realize the family farm is in this deep pain, and that is where I was coming from.
