Mr. Speaker, this issue is really of critical importance everywhere in rural and urban Manitoba and Saskatchewan. It is sufficiently important that two agriculture ministers were here last week to meet with the minister. It is important enough that the premiers of Manitoba and Saskatchewan are expected to be here next week to press the case.
This issue goes far beyond partisan politics and deserves a clear, straightforward answer. Will any new moneys be made available for prairie farmers before the end of this year, yes or no?
