Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister for International Trade. First I want him to know that I am also a passionate person, particularly when it comes to Canada's sugar export quotas to the U.S., which have been reduced from 35,000 to 10,000 tonnes due to the 1995 WTO. Lantic Sugar refineries in Saint John and in Montreal are suffering because of this.
Will the minister inform this House regarding what steps he will take at the next WTO negotiations to restore Canadian sugar exports to the U.S.?
