Mr. Speaker, once again I would like to put forward to you in your good graces the opportunity under Standing Order 52 to entertain an emergency debate in the House with respect to what is happening in agriculture today.
Unfortunately no programs have come forward recently from the government side of the House that would allay some of the problems with respect to the financial difficulties and the urgency that farmers face, programs that they are calling for now for spring seeding.
I would simply like to have an opportunity, not only for our party but for other parties in the House, to put forward their views on how the situation could best be resolved.
Under your good graces, Mr. Speaker, I do wish that we could have an open debate, an honest emergency debate on this very crucial issue.
