Mr. Speaker, it is interesting. There is one minister over there responsible for western diversification and the rest of them are responsible for promoting western alienation.
We agree with the minister of agriculture when he says that farming is a risky business. Therefore farmers need some safeguards and protection.
Why will the government not acknowledge that there is a full-fledged crisis in southeastern Saskatchewan and southwestern Manitoba and put out a disaster assistance payment on an unseeded acreage basis and do it tomorrow?
