Mr. Speaker, it is absolutely amazing, astounding actually, how Liberal members opposite can distort the facts and what is in the legislation.
If the hon. member had been in the House during my very brief speech on Friday, I referred to the fact that there are some people out there who are lobbying all members of this House to pass this legislation. Why is that? Because they say it is better than nothing. I said in my opening remarks that the official opposition wants to see legislation which is much better than just better than nothing.
We have serious concerns about this legislation. The reality is that this bill does nothing to help move grain from the farm gate to the port. History will show that is where the disruption takes place. The Liberals brought forward Bill C-19 which narrowly defines how to settle a dispute problem at the port. They are holding it up as the be all and end all. It is absolutely ridiculous and she knows it.
