Mr. Speaker, I have said a number of times today that yes, I agree this is a serious issue. I will try again to get some specifics.
It is clear that when the farm community was called upon to increase exports and hit the targeted exports, it did that. Farmers hit the targeted exports. When the farmers did that they assisted Canada in terms of meeting its balance of trade issues. They drew foreign dollars into the country and did a lot for Canada.
I think there comes a time when Canada has to stand by its farm community in terms of this crisis. That is true. But I thought the purpose of the debate and the motion today was for the Reform Party to put forward some specifics that the minister could deal with at his meeting tomorrow and that the government in general could deal with.
I ask again. I have heard no specifics from the Reform Party—
