Mr. Speaker, agriculture is in crisis.
Producers are selling at a loss. Income is down 55%. This is a $20 billion industry and the minister is fiddling while farmers are going down in flames.
The U.S. just announced an additional $6 billion for its support programs. The Liberal government has actually cut farm income support by 60% since it took office and rates second to last by the OECD.
The time for meetings is over. The time for action is now. What is the minister's plan and how much?
