Mr. Speaker, when the opposition party said that we should not support farmers and that we should cut the ministry et cetera, this government came to the aid of farmers to the extent of $900 million. We have changed the program since then to include and to give more support.
The numbers the hon. member talked about were numbers people in the western delegation were fully aware of. They were aware of that before they came. If they did not share that with their premiers then they would have to ask that question to the provincial officials that came to visit last week.
