Mr. Speaker, the Conservative government is failing farmers.
The Auditor General's report says over one-third of farmers are forced to wait for months to receive their disaster assistance. This money helps farmers get back on their feet and back to business quickly after they are hit by drought, disease or other unforseeable events.
The Auditor General directly contradicts the government's boasting about supporting farmers. Is it the government's position that the Auditor General is lying?
