Mr. Robert McCubbin (Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Agriculture):

On

Friday last the hon. member for Lethbridge asked that consideration be given to the advisability of making provision through the Prairie Farm Assistance Act to grant assistance to farmers in Alberta and Saskatchewan

Canadian Forces Act

at present in distress because of the abnormally wet season of 1951. In reply may I say that under the provisions of the Prairie Farm Assistance Act assistance may be granted only if the conditions found upon inspection are such as to bring the area within the terms of the act.

Member File Biography @ PARLINFO

Mr. J. H. Blackmore (Lethbridge):

Is the

parliamentary assistant aware of the fact that farmers all through Saskatchewan and Alberta have been paying one per cent of their income from sales every year from 1939 up to the present time and that the great percentage of those now in distress have never had five cents in return as consideration for that contribution? Second, at what time does the department determine whether or not the production of grain involved is below 8 bushels: in the year when the grain is grown or some time far in the future?
