Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister is very concerned about the farm crisis. He is certainly willing, as he has already demonstrated, to listen to farmers and their representatives. That is why he was willing to have a very early meeting when a delegation came from western Canada involving premiers and people of all stakeholder groups. That showed the Prime Minister's interest, which continues, in working with all concerned to find a fair and reasonable solution to this serious matter very soon.
