Mr. Speaker, forecasts are done every year by Agriculture Canada and the provinces in the months of July and February. They are forecasts. In between those two periods of time officials from both the provinces and the federal government continue to do analyses.
In July we all understand and realize that wheat is just coming through the ground. Come this time of year the harvest is completed. We know how much is there. We see how much individual producers have used the programs such as the net income stabilization account. It is only responsible to take a look at this. It does not diminish the fact that there are serious situations.
