Mr. Speaker, we waited a little while to have some silly accusations made by the Reform Party and now we have them.
We just finished saying what international trade does for the prairie farmer and what kind of condition the prairie farmer would be in if we did not have trade and the member stands up and harps about high input taxes.
As of today, the federal government alone has put $1.1 billion into a native program. Trade and assistance from the government when it is needed is what is keeping farmers on the farm.
