Mr. Speaker, comments have been made about the hon. minister of agriculture being heavy handed but there have been no specifics. The comments have been long on rhetoric but short on specifics.
With the quick resolution of the dispute over durum wheat exports to the United States, does the hon. member feel that is heavy handed on the part of the minister of agriculture? Does the hon. member consider the minister's acting to protect our supply management system in parts of Canada protecting the best food supply system perhaps in the world is being heavy handed? Does the hon. member feel that acting with due haste to make sure the regulatory system in Canada particularly in areas like the biotech industry and trying to streamline it and getting it done very quickly is perhaps another example of the minister being heavy handed?
