Mr. Speaker, in documents tabled at Geneva, Canada identified the Crows Nest as both a subsidy for export and a domestic support measure. Accordingly, this subsidy is subject to reductions.
However, in respect to domestic support, Canada has already fulfilled its obligations toward GATT. Furthermore, it is wrong to maintain, as did the Minister of Transport, that Canada must abolish these agricultural subsidies in order to meet GATT requirements.
My question is for the Minister of Transport. Does he recognize that he is misleading grain producers by stating that Canada is obliged to abolish Crows Nest subsidies in order to meet GATT requirements?
