Mr. Speaker, clearly in my speech, I was showing a few things. One of them was the actions that we are taking, primarily engaging all stakeholders across the crops logistics sector. Second, I was showing how farming and agriculture have succeeded under our government, both with ending the single-desk monopoly of the wheat board and with our innovations in science and research.
The fact that an extra two million acres were seeded is good news. The member treats it as bad news. The harvest is up by 20 million tonnes. There is no question that it is a record crop this year and that the transportation system is struggling to deliver it.
We do not take this matter lightly, which is why the minister has been meeting with stakeholders across the country on a number of different occasions. We have made funding available to encourage them to find solutions, not just tomorrow but in the short, medium, and long term, because we are convinced that agriculture will continue to succeed, and it needs medium- to long-term solutions as well.
