Mr. Speaker, the agriculture minister seems to be sleepwalking his way through this crisis.
Since September 11 the United States has announced $350 million to keep its food supply safe. Today in the agriculture committee André Gravel of the CFIA could not name one new initiative the government has put in place to protect our agriculture industry.
Does the minister not see any need to be more active and initiate a new initiative to ensure we have a safe agriculture industry?
