Mr. Speaker, as the member was finishing her remarks, she talked about AgriStability. One of the largest complaints that I get in my office from producers, besides the government's inactivity on trade, is the AgriStability program and how it just does not ever trigger when they need it to trigger. Particularly out in the Prairies, with how much larger our farms are getting, and particularly compared to farms out here in Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic Canada, the margins just do not work. We do not see people triggering.
There are a lot more people who are leaving the program than choosing to be in the program, because they are just seeing it as a financial loss. We are also seeing with crop insurance that, because there have been so many bad years consecutively, farmers are unable to get the coverage out of their insurance, because the five-year average has now dropped so low because of the consecutive years of bad crops.
The government needs to do a better job of engaging with producers in Saskatchewan in the breadbasket of Canada to get a better handle on understanding what is really going on in agriculture.
