Mr. Speaker, yesterday the WTO ruled against Canada and said that its export dairy pricing policy was illegal. Yesterday the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food stood before reporters and said that this would not have any impact on our negotiations in the upcoming WTO trade talks.
In Washington recently we were told time and time again that supply managed systems and state trading enterprises were the number one issue that Americans were going to put on the table.
Can the minister honestly say that this ruling will not have any impact on our trade position?
