Mr. Speaker, I would say to the hon. member that I have always believed that the essence of being in the House is that the stronger regions look out for those regions which do not have the same financial resources.
I understand that Saskatchewan does not have the financial strength that the provinces of Ontario or Alberta have, but I will give an even better example. I think it is a near scandal that we cannot find $6 million or $7 million for the potato farmers in P.E.I. when we all know that we spend that amount in a year around here on paper clips.
In answer to the question, I have always been a believer and have always supported the fact that the advantaged provinces have a duty to look out for those provinces that go through bad patches.
