Mr. Speaker, that is a very good question.
Under the strong leadership of this Minister of Agriculture, farmers throughout the land now have a voice here in Ottawa.
I am very proud of my new responsibilities for the rural and cooperatives secretariats. I am from a rural region and I want to see our regions succeed.
Today I announced $3.25 million in funding for agricultural cooperatives producing biofuels.
We are working for the farmers, we are working for the regions, and we are working for the environment.
