Mr. Speaker, the existing programs do not work, and the minister knows it.
Pork producers have no cash, no credit, no feed and a government in denial. Now added to that problem is a western Canadian drought that has unbelievable damaging conditions. On weather disasters, P.E.I. producers have found that the government's agri-recovery program is itself an abject failure.
Will the minister at least deliver real disaster assistance and not convoluted programs that offer no hope?
