I will be brief, Mr. Chair. I believe everyone has a copy of the motion. I would just like to mention that there was recently an emergency debate on this issue. I am very proud to have raised it on the floor of the House. I am also pleased that the minister reacted quickly. I spoke with him on Friday, and today he came forward with a bill.
However, I would like to explain why I am still moving this motion. The committee unanimously recommended some long-term solutions, and I would like us to let the minister know that it is important to move forward with these unanimous recommendations.
I do not think the bill deals with the entire matter, and I know the government has a deadline for responding to us. Through you, Mr. Chair, I would like to keep this issue alive by telling the minister that we would like a response quickly. We would like to have longer-term solutions to the problems facing the livestock industry.
