Mr. Speaker, I was pleased to be accompanied by the chair of the Canadian Pulse Growers, and others, on the trip to Washington last week. We made our views very clear to those in the United States, as they make their views on issues clear to us. We will write our laws here and, yes, they will write their laws there, but we demonstrated very clearly our concern that if the United States does that in the pulse industry it will be the only country in the world doing so, and therefore it will be affecting the market and production.
