Mr. Speaker, I would like you to convey to the solicitor general that after the Thanksgiving break we will be back on this question.
My question today is for the agriculture minister. There is a growing farm crisis in western Canada. In 1997 farm incomes have dropped by over an average of 50%. The net income stabilization account would help some farmers but it will not help most of the farmers.
Is the minister prepared today to admit that NISA does not meet the needs of real Canadian farmers?
