Mr. Speaker, the history of this file is the government has dropped the ball completely.
Grain transport is important. It is important to farmers, it is also important to port communities, and it is important to local economies across the country, like Vancouver. Now the minister clearly promised $100,000-a-day fines, and then mysteriously they were reduced to $100,000 a week, and even that is only in theory, because the government actually has not levied any fines despite the continuing problems.
Canadians want a government that will stand up for them. Why are the Conservatives so reluctant, so resistant to stand up for grain farmers and port cities across Canada?
