Mr. Speaker, after that question I think it is important that we ask a question that really is important to farmers.
Yesterday in response to a question from the Leader of the Official Opposition, the trade minister said he had initiated action under NAFTA and the WTO as his response for dealing with unfair trade action on the part of Americans against Canadian farmers. We know that it will take weeks and months for any conclusion to be reached.
I ask the minister what are farmers supposed to do for the next weeks and months, farmers like those in the gallery, to put bread on their own tables as a result of this unfair action?
