Mr. Speaker, I agree perfectly with what was said previously. We enjoy having the Minister of Finance talk about agriculture. He is a very good speaker but primarily it is a lot of talk. That is very much in line with the minister of agriculture, a lot of talk.
Take GATT for example. Canada lost out on GATT. In fact, we are in this position because the federal government was not strong enough in those negotiations. Take the export of wheat now. Why accept a limit to the export of wheat to the United States? This is what is being negotiated. If Canada really respected itself it would not accept any limit. We would be dealing according to free trade with the United States.
As far as the minister of agriculture's trips to China and so on, of course that is a good trip for him. Hopefully it will be good for Canada. All of these measures are really like motherhood; that is to say it falls within the norms of what we expect from Agriculture Canada and the federal government. However, we expect a little more, not just the bare minimum. We expect more and better ideas in terms of agriculture.
