Pat O'Brien LiberalParliamentary Secretary to Minister for International Trade

Mr. Speaker, there has been absolutely no change in government policy on the issue of cheese sticks for the last 20 years.

We are now in active negotiations and discussions. The minister has raised this matter with trade representative Zoellick. We will see further development on it, but there is absolutely no change. This is not some sudden new problem.
