Mr. Speaker, my question is for the minister of agriculture.
Tariff protection for Canadian apple producers was dropped on February 7. Since then American producers have been dumping apples into Canada. This has devastated growers in Okanagan-Similkameen-Merritt and across Canada. The growers have made a submission to the government requesting that it ensure fair trade and enforce Canadian trade law.
When will the government take action to curtail this American dumping of apples?
