Mr. Speaker, that was an interesting comment from the member that people in the beef industry are working with the government and actually running as Liberals in the next election.
Mr. Ted Haney, president of the Beef Export Federation, is running for the Liberals and is campaigning right now in the city of Calgary. He is hoping to get elected in the next election.
How is it that this man, who is supposed to be working for the beef industry, who is supposed to be getting our markets opened up and who is supposed to be selling beef, is running around the city of Calgary trying to get elected to the House of Commons while the beef industry is neglected by the Beef Export Federation? That includes the chairman, Mr. Ben Thorlakson, who is allowing this individual, who is being paid by check-off dollars, to run around and play politics instead of working for farmers.
