Mr. Speaker, the government is aware of how vulnerable the fresh produce industry is and how much it contributes to the economy.
That is why we introduced clear legislation to provide a single dispute resolution body that would help reduce issues of non-payment faced by the fresh produce industry.
We are also consulting widely on Canada's bankruptcy and insolvency laws, and Parliament will be involved in that consultation.
Our government is committed to supporting Canadian producers and exporters. We are going to continue to look at this issue.
