There are two kinds of actions. If you want to keep areas of economic activity like agriculture, which is not about made in China T-shirts, but about products almost exclusively produced for Canadian consumption—over 75% of Canadian agricultural production is consumed here—the first priority is to make sure that, in the future, we will not depend on agricultural or agrifood imports. So that is a change in course that we should make quickly.
In the medium term, decisions should be made to restructure sectors like slaughtering, to change Canadian rules so that our industry can be at least as competitive as our American neighbours'.This is certainly not the case at the moment. There are gaps that make competition completely impossible. In other areas, like market gardening and other fresh products, all the annoyances about cross-border trade need to be dealt with soon. Everyone has fresh products sitting at the border for 24 or 48 hours. You know what happens with fresh products that have spent two days at the border, they are no longer good enough to sell.
