Mr. Chair, I attended a farm rally in Yorkton a short time ago. They had a bureaucrat there who was in charge of the agricultural renewal portion of the APF for Saskatchewan. He had a $40 million budget. He would bring some of his fellow consultants out to the farm, which is an $8,000 hit to the taxpayer. It cost the farmer $100. They would teach the farmer how to be more efficient on the farm. The second program they offered was a $10,000 value and cost the farmer $200. They would come out to the farm and see what kind of skills the farmer had that could be marketed off the farm. That is the agricultural renewal policy under this Liberal government.
The last thing any farmer needs is more consultants and more bureaucrats. God save us all.
