Mr. Speaker, that was a swing and miss. We will miss our target by at least $2 billion or $3 billion with that type of answer.
Let us try another tact. The minister of agriculture has failed to establish a whole farm NISA arrangement with all the provinces-another failure. The agriculture sector is becoming more vulnerable to the interprovincial trade barriers we have seen in the past. Ontario veal producers are being hurt by provincial companies in Quebec. Alberta's farm income stabilization plan has Saskatchewan cattle feeders worried. The list is getting longer and longer.
Will the Liberal government exercise its rightful role, a federal role, to prevent or remove interprovincial trade barriers on agriculture goods so the industry can flourish and actually meet the minister's targets for export rather than scrapping internally between the provinces?
