We hear the member for Prince Edward Island. Those people happen to be very wealthy. I do not know why he is even in the House speaking about this issue because they do not need an insurance program in P.E.I. The point is that it has to be voluntary.
I will look at a side issue, GST, and how it is collected from farmers. A huge bureaucracy has been created in Revenue Canada to handle the GST revenue. It is ridiculous. I have always said that.
If farmers are buying a product, a piece of equipment or something that they need for the farm and it is zero rated, why do they pay the GST up front, go through the bureaucracy of applying to get it back, run it through a paper trail that is six miles long and finally get their cheques back for the GST in about four or five months?
