Mr. Speaker, $72 million is a significant amount of money, but I would respond to the member for Charleswood St. James—Assiniboia by reminding him that the Government of Saskatchewan has put $140 million in and of itself into the AIDA program. The member is telling us that $72 million of the AIDA program was paid back, not a terribly significant or compelling number.
The member did not tell us from the data he has how many people in Saskatchewan do not qualify for AIDA. As I said in my speech, from the figures I have seen, less than half of the producers in Saskatchewan and Manitoba are qualifying for any kind of payment.
