Mr. Speaker, Canada's grain transportation system is failing the prairie farmers. We have a crisis in the Prairies, and the Conservative government is standing by doing absolutely nothing. As we have piles of wheat accumulating in our prairies, we have 50-plus empty ships in the Pacific Ocean.
The problem is that the Conservative government's failure is costing prairie grain farmers millions of dollars. I question why the government has failed in terms of addressing this issue in the budget and demonstrating any caring, compassionate attitude to the prairie farmers out west. Why?
