Yes, Mr. Chair.
The canola situation has been going on for over two months now. We were made aware of this situation early this year. We recently learned that the pork industry has been dealing with problems involving forms. Maybe we'll have a chance to discuss that in greater detail in a little while with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency representatives.
It's important for ministers to come tell us what measures Canada will take to prevent these situations from happening again. We need to see all the ministers involved. This is a major crisis. We have an amazing opportunity right now, and we definitely don't want Canada to miss out. Politicians at all levels need to play a role. Specifically, the federal ministers I mentioned in the motion should appear before the committee so we can continue our study on African swine fever as well as the opportunities we might miss if we don't react to the situation swiftly.
I don't plan to talk about this for long because we still have lots of questions for our witnesses. However, I would encourage my colleagues to support this motion so we can get to the bottom of the issue and prevent any potential losses by showing that Canada's position on how to maintain trade relations with China is firm and clear.
