That's what the farmers say? Well, I'm sorry, that's what I am.
But that parity does have to be brought forward somehow. It shouldn't be a bad thing that there is more funding in the system, and that's a question that we have to ask ourselves, why and how that is becoming the issue.
I'll go back to one of my original comments, that the debate on food supply as a national security issue is present in my mind. I think the potato board and several others of the presenters have mentioned it in passing. But it is of critical importance to know, if we wish to be self-sufficient in food production, we will have to find a path or a way to work through regional differences and maintain our rural economies and our rural production systems.
I don't have the exact answer for your question. I do very much wish to again acknowledge the need for those regional differences to be emphasized, with the acknowledgement that the last program created some problems when they were not fully recognized.
