Text

I hear what you say, Minister, and agree with your remarks about cables. The good old farmers have come out to help again, and what I am trying to find out from you, Minister, is whether there is any indication of whether we are going to retain a list of farmers who can be called on for their support and can be recompensed for the work that they do? If it were not for the farmers, some of the work would take much longer. Those farmers, who are getting hammered from every direction, are doing that work at their own expense. Will you now compile a simple register of farmers to be called on following events such as this or snow or other adverse weather?
