Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister had the audacity to tell farmers last week that their problems are not as bad as they think. The agriculture minister keeps saying that limited emergency funds are available but forgets to mention that almost all of the funds are still sitting on the cabinet table.
Now we find out that the government is pressing ahead with a $47 billion shopping spree. What will it take for the Prime Minister to realize that farmers are a priority too, another 1,000 foreclosures or how about another eight suicides?
