Mr. Chair, there is a lot of hot air going around this chamber about farming, especially from the NDP. I wonder if my colleagues in the NDP have ever driven a tractor, disked a field, packed a field or seeded it. I wonder if they know what a seed drill is or if they have birthed a calf.
I find it highly ironic that certain members of their caucus pontificate large about farming and farming needs, when many of them do not have farming backgrounds. The opposite is true in my caucus. Many of the members of the Conservative caucus have either grown up on farms or currently have farms.
It highly ironic that there is a lot of hot air coming out certain members from the NDP caucus, when they have no experience in agriculture.
