Mr. Speaker, my party and I support equal and open access to the market for all Canadian producers. I firmly believe that the industry across Canada has the ability to compete very effectively with its U.S. counterpart. It is a matter of having free access to that market on a equal basis across the country. Until we achieve that, there will be no satisfaction or consensus from the producers across Canada. They all require equal access to the U.S. market on an equal footing and on a free and open basis.
