Mr. Speaker, I welcome the NDP to the agricultural file at the end of the day. That said, as I outlined for the member for Malpeque, the programs are there, the programs work and there are cash advances on the programs.
We also have the other cash advance program now, by which we can lend up to $400,000, with the first $100,000 interest free. That can be triggered at any time.
We have termed out some of those repayment situations so that farmers maintain the liquidity to work themselves through this.
We have the staff in place. We have the programs in place. Farmers are well served by the government.
