Mr. Speaker, the reason these associations and farm groups are making the request is because nothing has been done, and that is the problem.
The minister's own department has identified a 25% decline in prices due to the foreign subsidies. His only response is to spend $15 million on more consultations across the country, $15 million of waste. He is long on talk and short on action. A trade injury program is needed now. Why will the minister not provide the program?
