Madam Chair, again, the minister calls bowing to the U.S. President's demands generational investments.
It is worth noting that the government has asked Statistics Canada, the agricultural research centres, the National Research Council of Canada, the Canada Council for the Arts, and the National Film Board of Canada to tighten their belts, yet it has made cuts while finding money for the Governor General. A full one-third of a million dollars has been allocated to the Office of the Secretary to the Governor General.
I would like to know whether the minister or his government intends to ask the Governor General and her office to conduct research on agriculture.
