Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to hear my colleague discuss agriculture. He totally overlooked the fact that, between 1993 and 2005, more than 75,000 Canadian farms disappeared. He also forgot to mention that, under the previous government, from 1993 to 2005, the total liability of Canadian farmers grew from $25 billion to $48.9 billion. There is no denying that the previous government completely abandoned agriculture.
We now have measures to create greater cash flow. We would like to work towards ensuring that the Canadian Wheat Board can give more money to producers.
Why is my colleague against measures that could help farmers solve their money problems.
