Mr. Speaker, I listened to my colleague's very passionate speech, but there were some contradictions.
First, the member made it sound like this government was pitted against industry. To that, I will read two quotes.
First, the Grain Growers of Canada, one of the groups she said we did not consult with, said, “We especially thank [the] Agriculture Minister, [the] Transportation Minister and the federal government for listening to farmers and moving this legislation ahead”.
The Chemistry Industry Association of Canada, a second industry player, said, “this legislation is critical”.
The other contradiction is that, given all the doom and gloom the member has spoken about, how is she going to bring herself to vote for the legislation?
I believe the NDP is going to vote in favour of the legislation.
