Mr. Speaker, it has been very, very difficult to have questions answered by the government. I asked this question earlier and I must emphasize once again that the government is ignoring the question. What are the bureaucrats in agriculture doing?
I read an article in the paper awhile back that described how many bureaucrats we have in all of the departments of agriculture across this country.
There are 5.7 farmers for every bureaucrat. Farmers have come to me and asked: “What are these guys doing? This crisis is coming down the pike and nobody has prepared us for it”. It is the very same thing that the member asked: “What would you do?”
We do not need more programs designed by bureaucrats.
