Mr. Speaker, I think to continue to cast doubt on the capacity of the Government of Canada to participate in supporting Canadian farmers is not terribly helpful.
What we have said and what we want to confirm is that the Department of Transport in the budget document and elsewhere has indicated that we have to change the way we subsidize transportation in this country. We have made that very clear.
The hon. member in his question asked who should you believe. As I indicated in an answer to a question earlier, in dealing with agriculture in this country I do not think there is any doubt that farmers and people interested in the agriculture industry should listen and believe the minister of agriculture.
