Madam Chair, it is hard to break a commitment that has not been made yet. I am not sure where the member for Malpeque is coming from.
The hog sector has been served very well by this government. Of course it is very cyclical in nature. We did come forward with a cull sow program. It has worked very well. We have been able to expedite those moneys out. Of course we got new markets open for pork.
We are heading south again this coming week to Colombia and we are taking along Canadian Pork International to take advantage of a growing marketplace down there. We have expedited moneys under the targeted advance, under our new programs. We are able to do that, unlike the old APF that his government brought forward. We also put out some $80 million to help the industry address the cyclical nature of disease within hogs.
I think the pork industry has been very well served. We will continue to work with the industry toward brighter days.
