Mr. Speaker, my supplementary question is for the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.
The producer payment panel and others studying this matter, including our party, are trying to develop a new program that would ensure that funding to the railways would not simply be cut and lost but reallocated to the agriculture department and paid to farmers as part of a GATT green program.
Will the minister of agriculture assure this House that farmers will still benefit from the $600 million that his colleague is cutting from the Department of Transport?
