Mr. Speaker, a number of members from all parties and from all regions of Canada have come together to form a sugar caucus to address the issue of restrictions placed on Canadian sugar exports to the United States.
Revenue Canada today announced that it is investigating unfair trading practices of sugar exporters in the United States, Europe and Korea. I am sponsoring legislation to address the problems facing Canadian sugar workers and producers. All members are pleased that the minister has launched this action.
Can the minister explain to the House the basis for the investigation into the dumping and subsidization of sugar imports and the benefits which the sugar producers can expect to receive from this important action?
