Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister for International Trade. As the minister knows, the American government has once again attacked the Canadian Wheat Board by slapping a duty of some 12% and 10% on Canadian durum and spring wheat. The Americans have also been dumping wheat on the world market at an average of 29% less than the cost of production, hurting Canadian farmers and hurting third world producers.
In light of that, I want to know what specific action the minister is taking to stand up for our farmers, to stand up for orderly marketing and to stand up for the Canadian Wheat Board, which is so important to Canadian farmers.
