Mr. Speaker, my question is for the parliamentary secretary to the minister of agriculture.
I and my colleague from Malpeque, the P.E.I. potato industry and others have been working with the agriculture ministry for the past five months trying to solve the PBY-n compensation problem.
We were all expecting cabinet to make a decision on the issue this week, thereby putting an end to a four-year ordeal by the P.E.I. potato seed industry.
Can the government tell the P.E.I. potato industry when a decision will be made on this issue? A lot of farmers' futures depend on it.
