Mr. Speaker, I represent a rural region where there are many produce growers and many people who farm grains, fruits, vegetables, corn and soybeans. Frankly, this budget does not take into account our farmers' reality at all. It does not offer them the support they require or programs tailored to their needs.
Canada-wide programs do not work in agriculture because production in the east and west are different. With climate change, we would have expected the government to be more responsive to all of our producers in the budget.
