Mr. Speaker, I will give the hon. member one list. There was a $42 billion deficit which was eliminated by this government. That is clear. I will give him another point.
The Reform Party is looking for quick fixes with this motion. In fact in the short term NISA holds about $2.5 billion that Canadian farmers can access. This represents an annual contribution of $600 million by the federal government, $400 million by the provinces and $600 million by farmers.
The record is clear. This government stands ready to support small business, fishermen, miners, steelworkers. Absolutely we will support farmers.
