Mr. Speaker, if BSE were a priority to the government, that minister would have been in Texas today.
Canadians are tired of empty promises. They have heard far too much talk while deadline after deadline for an open border expires.
While the Prime Minister stated there would be ample opportunity to discuss the BSE crisis with President Bush today, cattle were not even on the agenda.
When is the government going to realize that it is not embarrassing the hell out of the Americans, it is scaring the hell out of Canadian producers?
