Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest to my hon. colleague over there. I think he would say we are pretty good friends.
Having said that, as a friend I would like some help from the hon. member. I would like him to look at the $1 billion increase in foreign aid over the next three years and explain to my constituents, more and more of whom have gone bankrupt in their agricultural operations, why the $1 billion investment in some shady deals we have had for years is a better investment than an investment in agricultural support so people can stay on their farms.
If the hon. member could do that I would like to have his help.
