Mr. Speaker, the Liberals waited so long to pass Bill C-49 that it may not even have an effect this year.
Yesterday, the Liberal government proved once again that it has absolutely no understanding of the realities faced by supply-managed farmers.
How can the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food justify the fact that the USMCA was signed a month ago, yet farmers are still in the dark?
Yesterday, the minister had a chance to announce how much money is available and how it will be distributed, but no, he is still figuring out how to set up two working groups.
Should he not have set up these working groups before he sacrificed our farmers?
