Mr. Speaker, it is only our Conservative government that supports the agriculture sector and recognizes the immense contribution of hard-working farmers to the Canadian economy. For instance, economic action plan 2015 will provide an additional $12 million to the agri-marketing program to promote high quality Canadian agriculture and agri-food products around the world. As well, the budget also commits an additional $18 million to expand market access so that agricultural industries can have open access to new markets and take advantage of many new trade opportunities.
I wonder if the Minister of State for Finance could please further expand on some of the other great things that our government is doing to support farming in this country.
