Madam Speaker, I was interested to hear from the member across regarding his government's agenda, especially when it comes to the economy.
I would like to ask, as a fellow member of Parliament from western Canada, how that view truly reconciles with the plan to get rid of the Canadian Wheat Board which supports the livelihoods of not just farmers but rural communities all across western Canada?
Further, how does the member feel about his government's cutback of western economic diversification which is absolutely critical especially in the diversification of rural areas across Manitoba and Saskatchewan in a very large way?
Instead of seeing a strong commitment to economic development in the west, what we are seeing are the most intense cuts affecting our area.
I would like to hear how that might actually oppose the government's agenda when it comes to economic development.
