Mr. Speaker, Canada is the world's seventh largest beef exporter and the second largest exporter of grain-fed beef. Beef exports are valued at $2.2 billion, which demonstrates this industry's importance to our economy and to Canadian jobs. There are close to 1,000 beef farmers in Waterloo region, including Oakridge Acres in my riding of Cambridge and North Dumfries.
Can the Minister of Agriculture update the House on what this government is doing to help beef farmers and to help the beef industry?
