Mr. Speaker, I signed with pleasure the communiqué at the end of the Cairns group meeting in Bolivia two weeks ago.
What we did reject was the desire of some Cairns group members to eliminate all de minimis support to agriculture, which would mean, if the hon. member wants that approach, that we could not provide programs such as crop insurance, NISA or ad hoc payments such as we just made to Canadian farmers. I will not agree to that.
