Mr. Speaker, I know the member for Lambton—Kent—Middlesex is very concerned about the farm crisis and agriculture issues. I have heard her talk passionately on it many times.
One common theme runs through all farm crises. We have had farm crises in past generations. It does not matter in what generation the farm crisis occurs or what commodity or community. There is as a result of a farm crisis economic violence, I would call it, inflicted on farm families. That is the level I want to deal with.
Do we have anything in place? What about the Farm Debt Mediation Act or is there anything in place that the government can do to deal with that kind of economic violence that will take place within farm families at the community and individual level? That is what we have to deal with.
