Mr. Speaker, why does the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food always react and never lead?
The culled cattle problem was apparent soon after the border closure on May 20. Almost six months later, there is still no program. The minister says he has a plan, but he cannot tell us about it because the process is not complete.
Is that his code word for “Let's play the provinces again”? What is his excuse?
Why is he taking so long? Why does he not take a page out of the Minister of Veterans Affairs and announce the program in the House of Commons right now?
