Mr. Speaker, as a point of clarification, when I said the tax relief situation was not sufficient to make sure producers were back on the land this spring, what I said was that they do not pay enough personal income tax or corporate income tax, that any type of tax relief would make the difference.
The hon. member talks about property taxes. I am sure he recognizes that is not a jurisdiction of the federal government but in fact is the jurisdiction of municipal government whom he should probably talk to if his property taxes are too high. Any tax relief would not relieve him of anything on his municipal property taxes.
I listened to the Leader of the Opposition say let us negotiate, let us get out of the subsidies with the EU and the U.S., let us make sure that there is tax relief. He did not mention the fact that there has to be support programs today. The member said that there have to be support programs. Would the member please clarify that the Reform Party is advocating relief and support programs right now for this year's agriculture.
