Mr. Chair, the member is the foremost advocate in the House for small-scale farmers, for the supply managed sector and the Wheat Board. He is a real breath of fresh air on the agriculture committee and a very strong Canadian in the House of Commons. He reads the text diligently of everything that comes before us, which is why he is able to stand up and point to specific aspects of this deal that are clearly not in the public interest.
We are getting many emails tonight and we thank the folks who are watching the debate and sending emails. Please email the Liberal and Conservative MPs and tell them that they really have to read the lead text and understand what is going on at the table.
He has just mentioned two key aspects that are extremely important. The first, of course, is the issue of what the impact will be on farmers if they are not able to use their own seed. The impact on food sovereignty is enormous. I know the member will be speaking on this a little later.
Second, there is the issue of public services, water and health care being put on the table by the government, which is highly irresponsible. It has done absolutely no due diligence or homework, as we have seen. We asked questions of the minister and he was incapable of answering a single one of them. For Canadians waking up to what this represents in so many different areas, they have to be concerned about what the government is bringing forward. That is why it is important for folks to get informed.
