Madam Speaker, I will admit I am disappointed that the member from the governing party has not talked about some of the benefits we have put out there. It leaves the impression that a lot of effort has not been made. In fact, as I indicated earlier, as a government, we have paid the largest payouts to the farm community in Canadian history. That is not to say that there is not hurt. I fully admit, and so has the minister, that there is extreme financial hurt in the farm community.
However, I would ask the member this. In terms of moving ahead and moving forward, how does the member believe we should proceed? Should we emphasize more in safety nets, which is basically government payments into the industry? Should we take a somewhat different approach or in parallel to try to deal with the real problem, which is the lack of return? We have had a declining return in the marketplace for producers. It has been declining down for 25 years, not only in Canada but globally. Should we be emphasizing in that area and trying to make the market work more for producers than it currently is? The moneys need to come from there. Safety nets only cover some of the shortfall, not it all, and we know that.
