I have enormous sympathy for our canola partners, and I'm quite encouraged by Mr. Pike's suggestion that we need to move more into biofuels. Farmers have enough worry with the rain and the droughts, and now they have to worry about matters that have no relevance whatsoever to hard-working people on tractors or whatever, producing food for Canadians. My heart really goes out to them.
China has used this canola thing a lot. Previously they made—I think Mr. Pike would probably agree—completely spurious allegations that the dockage in our canola was full of mites and bugs or something. There was no basis for this whatsoever. They seem to target canola because it's a powerful constituency.
If China wants to engage in economic leverage, they can then start to go after our other agricultural commodities. They might suggest there's something wrong with our potash, meat or whatever. It is a dangerous thing. I think these agricultural commodities have a global market.
It's regrettable that after the Meng Wanzhou and the two Michaels matter was resolved, we went back to having a very high dependence on the Chinese market for our canola marketing. I really think that we need to be looking to partners that are more likely to maintain contracts in an honest way than depending on the hope that we can trust the Chinese to be fair in their dealings with us.
