Mr. Speaker, it is quite clear in the intervention of the hon. member that he is not interested in the debate. Despite the fact that farmers deserve a healthy debate, the member is not prepared to give it. He would be happier simply hurling allegations and insults across the floor.
In my prepared speech I was trying to talk about the fact that research is playing a vital role in agriculture and agri-food. If the hon. member from Saskatchewan wants to belittle that, that is fine, but I do not think his constituents will be very impressed.
