Mr. Speaker, I remind the hon. member that I am minister of more than livestock. I will inform him again that the PFRA does have its budget. It will allocate it to the best of its ability for the number of areas that have requested a desire for support.
I also remind the hon. member that since March 2000 the province of Alberta has received $160 million more in two additional contributions above and beyond its regular contributions to safety net or companion programs that can be directed as it wishes.
