Madam Speaker, the parliamentary secretary and the minister used the expression “political rhetoric” dozens of times. Anytime we come up with a constructive suggestion, a real method, a path to address the situation, they dismiss it as political rhetoric. They dismissed our demands to drop the cash on deposit requirements of CAIS. They have since promised to buckle to that because of the thousands of farmers who have let them know that we, and not the Liberal Party, represent them. The difference is that the Liberal Party represents the bureaucracy and we represent the farmers.
Could my hon. colleague, the critic for agriculture, comment on the Liberals' habit of announcing funding and then not delivering it, not even having the forms available to apply for the programs that they introduce?
