Mr. Chairman, I would ask my very passionate and hardworking colleague to recall that a very short time ago in the House we all heard the Minister for International Trade say that agriculture would be number one in the negotiations at the WTO. I am sure that we will all join together in the House to ensure that will happen.
Of course subsidies are unfair around the world but I would not want my colleague to mislead Canadians by saying that on this side of the House the government has done nothing for our farmers. There is always a need for more but this year Canadian farmers will be at the receiving end of almost $4 billion. In fact $3.8 billion will be given to our Canadian farmers. I know there is a need for more and we should work together to provide more for the great people who till the soil and provide food for us all.
