Mr. Speaker, the minority Conservative government is showing blatant contempt toward farmers.
Earlier this month the Prime Minister, whose disdain for the Canadian Wheat Board is legendary, slapped the Wheat Board with a gag order, preventing it from advocating for its single desk selling. When he was president of the National Citizens Coalition, the Prime Minister said, “gag laws are unconstitutional and unenforceable”.
Is the Prime Minister not doing today what he found so distasteful not that long ago?
