First off, what we see in the motion that was passed in the House is that it is a result motion. To me, the motion that was passed in the House in November 2005 indicated to us that all parties in Canada support supply management. That's what it indicated to us. It indicated to us that there was strong support, and that when Canada goes to the WTO negotiations, Canada is to stand firm for supply management.
It doesn't say that Canada should go to the table and say, “Here's what we want and we're not negotiating”. Canada must do its job and negotiate on behalf of all Canadian farmers, not just on supply management and not just for beef, pork, or fruit. Canada's job is to negotiate on behalf of all Canadian farmers.
Canada's saying that this motion ties our hands is not accurate. It is a result motion. It talks about a result at the end of the WTO. It does not talk about how you get there. Canada needs to be at the table negotiating on behalf of Canadian farmers, and that's all we're asking of the government.
