Mr. Speaker, I have already pointed out to the hon. member the attributes of our safety net system in Canada. There is $2.5 billion allotted to that system.
Also of importance, as we all know, is the fact that I have called a meeting for Wednesday of the farm leaders and provincial ministers. This will allow us to continue to plan a “coherent and clear national strategy to provide producers with security”.
The hon. member should recognize exactly what we are doing and what we are about to do because that is a quote from “A Framework for Canada's Future”, the NDP platform from the last election.
