Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has joked that he will flip a coin to decide if he will help farmers fight against foreign subsidies.
This flippant remark shows his true colours. He simply does not care. Canadians deserve better. Grain, oilseed and other export dependent producers are hardest hit by rising foreign subsidies. Compensation should be targeted to these farm families.
The Prime Minister has refused to tell farmers and has refused to tell the provinces if he will direct funding to offset trade injury.
Will new agricultural funding be directly targeted to export dependent producers for trade injury compensation?
