Mr. Speaker, my question is for the minister of agriculture.
Canadian farmers have been delivering wheat and barley to the United States, often clearing Canadian customs without a Canadian Wheat Board export permit. On Tuesday, three American trucks hauling barley from Canada were seized by customs as they tried to enter the United States. Previously, these same trucks with the same product were allowed to enter the United States.
Is it legal or is it illegal? Are exports permitted or are they refused? Will the minister tell confused farmers why some trucks are seized and others are not?
