Mr. Speaker, grain farmers and the western provinces are pleading with the federal government to finally act in order to move the millions of tonnes of Canadian grain that are at risk of rotting because there is no transportation available.
There is a desperate need for stricter rules and harsher penalties for rail companies that shirk their duties and take our farmers hostage. The House will break tomorrow for two weeks, and the Conservatives still have not done anything about this.
What are they waiting for? When will they help our farmers and get the grain moving?
