There was an arrogant government, known as the Mulroney government, that made the decision to hurt the province of Manitoba in a very political way. Canadians in Manitoba recall that, and that is one of the reasons why, in 1993, Liberals won 12 of the 14 seats. Seats should never be taken for granted.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2514075\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would suggest that doing this to farmers, even though farmers do not support it, will have a residual effect. It is going to stick around. Farmers will not forget.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2514076\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Liberals might only have two seats in the Prairies and the NDP may only have three seats in the Prairies, but it just means that we have great potential for growth. That member is feeding that growth.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2514077\" data-originallang=\"en\">Personally, I would just as soon say to keep the Wheat Board and go from there.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2514073\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je me ferai un plaisir de lui r\u00e9pondre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2514074\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aimerais rappeler au d\u00e9put\u00e9 l'affaire des avions F-18, vers la fin des ann\u00e9es 1980. Le gouvernement de l'\u00e9poque, dirig\u00e9 par Mulroney, a fait preuve d'arrogance et pris des d\u00e9cisions qui ont port\u00e9 un dur coup, sur le plan politique, \u00e0 la province du Manitoba. Les Manitobains se rappelleront qu'en 1993, les lib\u00e9raux ont rafl\u00e9 12 des 14 si\u00e8ges \u00e0 la Chambre, et c'est en partie \u00e0 cause de l'arrogance du gouvernement. Il ne faut jamais tenir nos si\u00e8ges pour acquis.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2514075\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'estime qu'il nous faudra assumer les cons\u00e9quences de nos actes si nous persistons dans cette voie, surtout quand on sait que les agriculteurs ne sont pas d'accord. Il faudra vivre avec cette d\u00e9cision; parce que les agriculteurs n'oublieront pas.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2514076\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le fait que les lib\u00e9raux n'ont que deux si\u00e8ges dans les Prairies et que le NPD n'en a que trois signifie tout simplement que le potentiel de croissance est excellent. Ce d\u00e9put\u00e9 nous aide en ce sens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2514077\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'aurais plut\u00f4t tendance \u00e0 sugg\u00e9rer de garder la Commission canadienne du bl\u00e9 et de voir ensuite comment nous proc\u00e9derons.</p>"
