Mr. Speaker, this government started to act nearly a year ago when we contributed $900 million before the budget was introduced last year. That is being used by producers. It will all be used. It will also be added to by $600 million from the provinces. We made changes to the net income stabilization account which made another $121 million available across Canada. There is still more money in the net income stabilization account that has been triggered by farmers as well. I am encouraged by the fact that they are now using that account.
In the House of Commons on October 21st, 1999. See this statement in context.
