Mr. Speaker, there was no hiding behind any numbers at all. I would have to assume that the officials in the provinces cleared those numbers with their politicians. If they did not, I guess the member should ask those politicians why their officials did not share them with them.
The numbers are better than projected in July of this year. We are all glad of that. That does not take away from the fact that a number of producers are hurting out there. That is why we continue to look at and continue to make changes to assist in every way we possibly can.
