Mr. Speaker, that was quite a long winded question.
We are trying to find a better balance in the budget by having a fairer taxation policy and that shows throughout the budget papers.
I always enjoy the member's questions concerning the agricultural area. As I mentioned, because of concerns the member and some of his constituents raised, we have moved to address the concerns of the Crow benefit payout. We moved up the time frame it would be paid out so that producers would have the capital up front to do what they have always wanted to do in western Canada: get into a more diversified economy.
The bill also increases the ability of the livestock sector and makes it more competitive because there is cheaper grain as a result of the transportation changes.
