Mr. Speaker, we are glad to aid twice, if that is the way the hon. member wants to put it, but naturally if there are changes to criteria then applications will have to be reviewed so that those who are eligible under the new criteria will be able to receive their money.
Farmers have been asking us to make some changes. We made a number of changes and announced them today in response to some of the advice of the safety nets advisory committee. We did that today.
All week the opposition has been asking us to give more assistance to farmers. Today we give more assistance to farmers, and again it does not want us to do that.
