I was a member of the agriculture committee—I cannot longer remember exactly which year any more—and we went to the United States, to Washington, to talk about this. We had a very busy day and all we talked about was country of origin labelling.
It seems to me that the way in which it is presented is vague. Given the cost of committee travel, I would like to have other things to discuss with American parliamentarians.
When we went before, we had a briefing session with someone from the American department of agriculture. We met Ambassador Michael Wilson. We were still on a mission, though, which I was not able to finish myself. But those who stayed the next day obtained good information and had interesting meetings and discussions.
This motion, saying that we are going to travel and talk about something or other, may be a bit hasty in the sense that we have asked people to come to the committee to talk about the same things. If we go to the United States to talk about them, I would find it a little...
In other words, I do not disagree with the spirit of the motion, but I would like us to fine-tune it. It also seems to have come up a little suddenly today.
