Mr. Speaker, that is just not good enough. When there is a disaster in any part of the country the government correctly leaps to the aid of the people who are affected.
This is a disaster in western Canada, the provinces where agriculture is the very lifeblood of survival, and this is taking altogether too long.
Farmers have been brought to their knees by this government. They are pleading and begging the ministers of finance and agriculture to do something. Will they announce disaster relief for these farmers today?
