Madam Speaker, first of all, it is true that farmers are badly affected by gasoline prices. There are two factors here. The first one was presented earlier by one of my colleagues. The prices also fluctuate within a province or even within a community. This depends on the seller who sometimes takes a profit. We have to make sure that the prices remain at the lowest possible level throughout a region.
As for GST, of course the farmers receive the GST at the end of their fiscal year. This is a serious problem because they do not get it now. It is something they will only get at the end of their fiscal year. I think that some sort of agreements should be made, particularly with the provincial government, to help them get through this year.
