Mr. Speaker, the Government of Canada turns its back on no children.
The message about the importance of Canadian children is very clear, both in the throne speech and long before that in the policies and actions of this government.
It is our hope that the existing programming plus the incremental programs that we have put in place in the last year and the additional consideration that we are giving at the present time will be helpful to all Canadians in addressing these issues, particularly farm children in western Canada.
