Mr. Orb, you represent Saskatchewan communities. What do your organization's members think about the current controversy over the Saskatchewan government's decision to provide $71 million to their cattle producers? Minister Ritz who is himself from Saskatchewan, denounced that decision and even went as far as making public statements and issuing press releases.
How is the government's decision perceived in the province? Do people feel that the Government of Saskatchewan has listened to the cattle sector and that the federal government should do the same, or do they agree with Minister Ritz in saying that the Government of Saskatchewan should not have taken that measure?
