Mr. Speaker, since 80 per cent of our trade is with the U.S., it is not surprising that we encounter a few problems from time to time.
As for milk and the products controlled by marketing boards, we think our position is well protected by GATT.
Regarding the situation of Western farmers, our fight is not over yet-
They have 90 days. I talked to the President of the United States on Friday before he made his announcement to tell him that we were not happy with that and that the problem had to be revisited. He told me that over the period of 90 days there would be some time to discuss with the administration. I hope we will come to a reasonable level of export to the United States.
We are doing our best, but the problems in relation to the size of our trade with the United States are not very numerous at this time.
