I think what his report did was to highlight issues that are of vital importance to Canadians across the country, the problem of hunger that we have in this country and a problem with healthy and safe food. He actually highlighted some problems with international trade and echoed some of the comments we made this morning in terms of our increased trade not resulting in better incomes for farmers.
I would still hope there'd be some window of opportunity within the Government of Canada to take his recommendations more seriously than to call them completely ridiculous. This is the United Nations. We are a signatory to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. That is what he came to do here. Canada has had a longstanding open invitation to any UN human rights investigators, and this is a break with this tradition that I think we need to rethink very seriously.
