I would like to discuss your proposal to promote Canadian farm products. I think it is an excellent initiative. We have been hearing about it for some time now, yet just recently, we were told of some rather sad examples of products that were labelled ''Made in Canada''. People buy products that they think have been made here, but, as it turns out, only the jar and the cover are made in Canada. The rest, the product, for example, pickles, that are in the jar, obviously come from another country. I have just had a glass of apple juice. The container might have said ''Made in Canada'' but the apples may have come from China. When the committee travelled across the country, I learned that there were olives that were labelled ''Made in Quebec''. The only olive trees I have ever seen were in paintings depicting Jesus in his time. We have a problem.
How do we counter this way of doing things, how do we prevent the companies from taking licence and labelling just about anything ''Made in Canada''? People choose to buy these products because they think they are helping to support our industries. I would like to prohibit the use of the little green sticker on these products. How do we go about stopping this trend?
