Mr. Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague on doing a commendable job on education, which is the term he used.
All provincial governments, all local governments and all parties in the House, I say without fear, have not done a good enough job educating the public on this issue.
The previous speaker, the hon. minister of agriculture, used some figures for Saskatchewan. I direct this question to him concerning the federal-provincial cost sharing.
Saskatchewan, as we know, has the largest number of farmers, the largest number of acres under cultivation and so on. With the 60:40 split, it is extremely difficult for Saskatchewan to match that 40%, more so than for any other province in Canada. We have to be careful in condemning one province for shying back a little because it is in the least financial position. It has the least resources right now to match that 60%.
Does the member think this all or nothing approach, which is meet the 40% or the province does not get the 60%, is perhaps the right approach?
