Mr. Speaker, it is unfortunate that the European Union continues to practise fearmongering and the spreading of misinformation about the quality of Canadian beef in order to go against the WTO ruling. It has been proven time and time again to the WTO by the World Health Organization, the European Union's own veterinarian and health committee, Codex Alimentarius and Health Canada that Canadian beef is safe.
We want access. If we do not get access, we want compensation. If we do not get that, we will retaliate.
