| Message | Mr Speaker, We believe government subsidies should be used to encourage responsible organic farming techniques and countryside husbandry, not blindly follow market demand. As such organic products could be sold at the same price as chemical ridden and genetically modified pseudo-foods, giving housewives a genuine choice to buy them without being out of pocket. I yield the floor. |
