Mr. Speaker, the national safety net advisory committee said on November 18: “The Canadian farm sector is facing a crisis. This situation has revealed a major gap in the safety net system, a gap that needs to be filled now”.
The minister said in the House that a national program would be in place by the end of November. The standing committee on agriculture says its report will not be ready until December 7.
Can farmers expect action from this government before the end of the month or will the minister just waste more time while more farmers go bankrupt?
