Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Prime Minister.
Canadian farmers are in crisis. Prices are down, input costs are up and droughts are taking their toll. U.S. farmers have just received $6 billion in additional farm aid. European farmers are getting twice the support of Canadian farmers but this government has cut agricultural support by two thirds.
Lloyd Pletz, a Saskatchewan farmer, says “I'm finished in the spring. I've got no way to hang on”. Has the Prime Minister nothing to say to Lloyd Pletz and other farm families like his?
