Mr. Speaker, the minister of agriculture will know that the blockade of Canadian trucks carrying grain, livestock and other commodities which began last week in South Dakota has now shifted and spread to some other mid-western states thus destroying utterly the minister's claims that this was electioneering, posturing by one U.S. governor.
Could the minister advise the House what he is doing to resolve this dispute and to protect western Canadian farmers, truckers and their commodities?
