Mr. Speaker, there was a lot of hype and hyperbole from the U.S. trade representative in his comments last week about the Canadian Wheat Board. However in the end, after a 16 month investigation by the U.S. international trade commission, the Americans could find no violation of any trade agreement and they imposed no specific trade remedy because they had in fact no basis in law or in policy to do so.
In 9 such proceedings over the past 12 years, the score so far is 9 to 0 for Canada.
