Mr. Speaker, we feel it should be a fair program for both part time and full time farmers. That is exactly why this government announced on February 17 that because of the ice storm we will treat part time farmers exactly the same as we treated part time farmers in the Saguenay and in the Red River region. I would encourage the Government of Quebec to come on side with a subsidiary agreement so it too will treat part time farmers the same as it treated part time farmers in the Saguenay.
In the House of Commons on March 9th, 1998. See this statement in context.
