Madam Speaker, I always enjoy listening to the member from the Peace River area because he knows how important agriculture is.
Would he like to comment on an issue we addressed this morning when we were dealing with Bill C-34. This kind of flows into Bill C-38 which is more or less trying to dissolve farming operations which we hope can be avoided somehow. This morning we were asking for emergency cash advances of $50,000 interest free. That was denied because the government would not accept our amendments to Bill C-34.
However, in the last couple of months the Liberal government has doled out about $250 million to a company like Bombardier, that is interest free and probably forgivable. How does that compare with his feelings of how the farmers are treated in the west and even in Quebec, as we heard from our hon. colleague from the Bloc.
The Liberal government promised fairness, equality and democracy. I do not think we have seen any of that in the number of bills that have been passed lately.
How does my hon. colleague feel about this?
