Mr. Chair, as much as I can stand here and say our leader does support supply management and he was crucial in putting together our party policy on that, I am not going to argue with the facts that the hon. member attempts to misrepresent.
I do agree with myself, without being schizophrenic in any way, that the Liberal Party has unfortunately neglected farmers. The member says action is putting money in farmers' pockets. The only action we have seen from this government about putting money in people's pockets is their friends in the sponsorship scandal. There were millions of dollars put into pockets very quickly.
I agree that putting taxpayers' dollars into the farmers' pockets in these worthwhile causes is action. Unfortunately, my farmers have not seen very much of that money, certainly not in the amounts that the member is saying the government has handed out. Whether it is getting lost somewhere between Ottawa and the farm gate, I do not know. Maybe there is an advertising company somewhere in the middle that is scooping it up.
