Mr. Speaker, in an earlier question the minister left the impression that there would be money for farmers today. When did September or later become today?
Earlier this morning the minister admitted there would be no cash for farmers this spring. That is a violation of the commitments that the backbench gave farmers for immediate cash. Worse yet, it is positive proof that the budget was less than honest with respect to farmers.
Why is the minister failing to provide immediate cash for farmers? Why have the Conservatives broken their trust with the farm community?
