Mr. Speaker, I thank the minister for his clear explanation. It is not unlike, as I suspected, the quasi-judicial Immigration and Refugee Board which is fraught with all kinds of problems and a minister who is reluctant to step in when he should and steps in when he should not. The Federal Court, already backlogged when it sits with immigration cases, will now undoubtedly be backlogged even further with agricultural problems.
I suggest that the agricultural tribunal as proposed is going to be just as flawed as the Immigration and Refugee Board and the parole board.
