Mr. Speaker, the disaster relief program and the farm safety net program for Canadian farmers are already in place and have been in place, therefore we do not have to consider and will not consider ad hoc programs that the Americans are now considering.
As a matter of fact, they are looking at our system and want to know how they can copy it. We have our crop insurance. We have our net income stabilization account, for example. In that account alone Canadian farmers have $2.5 billion that they can draw on in the unfortunate situations like we have this year of low commodity prices around the world.
