The reports we have received say that fiscal 2007-2008 will be a key year in that it will be devoted to developing the new agricultural policy and new programs. Implementation is scheduled for 2008. That is actually my question. Are you starting to prepare this for 2008, today? We are almost there, and you have nothing concrete. This seems to me to be a real problem. I am wondering whether agriculture really counts. This is our raw material, in Canada, and still it seems to be adrift. You have no programs. I am very dissatisfied and that is what I would have told the Minister if he had stayed. I hope that my comments will be taken back to him. I have nothing to add.
On May 1st, 2007. See this statement in context.
