Mr. Speaker, not only the prairies and the farmers have been hit in this budget but many other people have as well. This budget is not good at all for the people in my riding. They will suffer.
We have subsidies and subsidies were cut which of course is not a pleasant thing to do. However they had to come to an end. There is a transition period and $1.6 billion is being offered to the farmers to adjust to the new situation. In my duties as a member of the transportation committee I also asked a question about the effect of Crow for instance on transportation. It seems they are not very concerned about it. I would like to see the situation adjust. It is tough we have had to do that, but we have taken great care to be equitable in our cuts.
