Mr. Speaker, the member spoke very well on this important issue.
We have had serious issues with regard to subsidies in Europe as well to the detriment of Canadian agricultural products. In fact, the subsidies are so large that we cannot possibly manage to compete with them. I expect the same is happening with the U.S. farm bill. It is an enormous subsidy.
Can the member tell the House whether or not the solution to this is to try to somehow match subsidies and get into a subsidy war, or is there a reasoned approach to deal with trade practices bilaterally and globally?
