Mr. Speaker, the hon. member for Toronto—Danforth is in essence up to his old game of trying to divert this debate away from what the real issue is. The real issue is simply that this motion says that farmers require an additional $400 million.
I am going to ask the hon. member not to try to blame government inaction on the fact that the consumers in Toronto or other cities do not fully understand the agriculture issue. Elected MPs fully understand it. They have been lobbied by every group, such as the Ontario Federation of Agriculture and the Canadian Federation of Agriculture.
Does the member not recognize that the motion is a vote about $400 million and not a vote about educating the consumer?
