Mr. Speaker, I asked a very respectful question. It would have been nice to actually get a direct answer.
A few weeks ago in the House, the Secretary of State for Agriculture advised the hon. member for Malpeque that there was plenty of money for drought-stricken farmers.
On Monday, there was no mention of this in the budget, not for southwestern Saskatchewan, not for Peace River, not for Rainy River and not for Thunder Bay. Why not?
When will the Minister of Agriculture deliver on the specific funding promised by his secretary?
