Mr. W. M. Howe (Wellington-Grey-Dufferin-Waterloo):

Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister of Agriculture. In view of the fact that the farmers of Ontario have suffered a reduction in net income from $402 million to $324 million, a difference of approximately $78 million in the last year, what steps are the Department of Agriculture and the minister contemplating to improve the situation of Ontario farmers?
