Mr. Speaker, I listened attentively to the hon. member opposite. In addition to our ideological differences, I noticed something else. I noticed that there are huge differences between urban and rural constituencies. Where I live, there is no CN Tower. I live in a rural riding whose population depends on farming and forestry and where many are unemployed.
Is the hon. member not a little surprised that the budget cuts funds for forestry and maintains the status quo for agriculture? Are you not a little surprised by that?
