Mr. Speaker, I would think the hon. member may be more effective in his intervention if he did not simply exaggerate and not state the facts.
One could make the case that there should be additional support. It is a reasonable case to make. However, I will not accept the hon. member's point that there has not been support for Canadian producers, particularly in terms of the BSE issue. There has been.
We have $1.9 billion provided to producers. Set aside programs were put in place to ensure that there was a price recovery to a certain extent, not to the level we would have liked to have seen it and not to pre-BSE levels, but a significant increase over what the price was last August. That has provided new income for producers from the marketplace. There has been assistance for producers. We have worked hard to provide it and we will continue to work hard as we move forward in the future.
