I'd like to pursue that. I have a potato grower in my riding in southern British Columbia. He mentioned that there has been a decrease in people producing potatoes because of NAFTA. We used to have in-season tariffs to not only protect potatoes growers.... W used to have over 2,000 onion growers; now we have half a dozen onion growers in British Columbia.

How can you do something like this when we have this big umbrella of NAFTA?
