Mr. Chair, I congratulate the member on her election to the House.
The member talked about the integration of the industry. In fact, there is no industry that is more integrated with the United States than the beef industry. We talked about this the other night in terms of cattle moving down into feedlots, back up into Canada and so on. It is a very integrated industry.
I think the member also agrees with what her leader said the other night, that the real problem is the stoppage at the border.
I was intrigued by what the member said about changing the dispute settlement laws. Many members of the House have talked about this issue previously.
We have to find a quick resolution when there are issues with the United States. We have had the softwood lumber issue, fisheries issues in my area and we now have the BSE issue. Clearly the science is on our side in terms of opening the border. Contrary to what the hon. member said, there has been an endless number of cabinet ministers going to the United States. There have been delegations of members of Parliament, cabinet ministers and our ambassador, all of whom have been working hard on the issue. As yet there has been no resolution because, as the member said, it has been politicized.
I am wondering what the member has in mind in terms of quick response or dispute settlement changes in the laws which the House could have the benefit of as we go down the road to find a quicker resolution to these issues.
