Mr. Speaker, it is wonderful what cold weather will do. It must have been shock treatment. The Alliance Party finally got interested in agriculture. It is nice that it was interested this winter. It was the first one.
Adding to what I commented on a few minutes ago, the government increased interest free loans for farmers this year two and a half times what they were last year, up to $50,000 per farmer. We estimate that farmers will borrow interest free over $700 million to help put their crops in the ground this year.
