Mr. Speaker, Conservatives negotiated CETA and TPP because we know the importance of market access for our agricultural sector.
Recently, CN and CP have fulfilled only 38% of the grain commitments. This growing rail backlog has led to lost sales and unreliable exports for our grain producers. The Liberal government is putting critical trade deals at risk, and now Canadian farmers cannot even get their products to port.
Will the agriculture minister get off the bench and take action to ensure our farmers have adequate rail access to get their grain to market?
