"en": "<p>Mr. Speaker, the parliamentary secretary speaks some double-talk. The CAIS deposit program has cost farmers a lot of grief. I have received a lot of calls in my office with respect to that deposit. It is something the government said that it would undertake to discuss. The parliamentary secretary, along with other ministers, including the finance minister and the Prime Minister, voted against our motion that the deposit be dropped.</p>\n<p>Now they say they are talking about it. Talk is too little. The farmers require action. Would the parliamentary secretary undertake categorically to say that the CAIS deposit requirement will be dropped and that the government will see to it, regardless of what the provinces may or may not do. It is something he can do.</p>\n<p>He mentioned that $700 million had been spent on Newfoundland and Labrador, and another $30 million. The government is finding millions of dollars everywhere. Will the government undertake to invest that and ensure that the deposit is dropped?</p>",
