Mr. Speaker, it took the government seven months to react to the U.S. protectionist blockade against P.E.I. potatoes.
Greenhouse tomato producers across the country cannot afford to have the government take that long to protect their interests from American protectionist actions.
The latest frivolous case against tomatoes is just the last in a long list of cases, including potatoes and softwood lumber. Why has the government failed to prevent the latest unprovoked protectionist attack against Canadian tomato producers?
