Mr. Speaker, does the Minister of Finance or any member of the House believe that farmers can borrow themselves out of debt?
That is what the Minister of Agriculture is doing. He is telling farmers he will give them a little break on interest if they borrow more money, go further into debt. Yesterday's new farm plan was no cash for spring and borrow more money. This does not deal with the farm crisis. It violates your commitment of immediate cash for spring.
Will the minister tell us how many farmers will not qualify for this money?
