Mr. Speaker, I want to take this time to move a motion so we can explore this issue further. All of my colleagues have received a copy of the motion. It would enable us to learn a bit more about the situation and prevent it from happening to other companies. It's vital that Canada stand firm and show that it does want to collaborate, but that it won't let China get away with using these excuses for reasons other than trade, like political reasons.
The motion reads:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Committee invite the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-food, the Minister of Trade Diversification and the Minister of Foreign Affairs to update the Committee on the situation regarding the suspension of Canadian pork imports by the Chinese government and that the Ministers appear before the Committee on or before Tuesday, June 4, 2019.
