Debates of March 22nd, 2019

Finance

[The Deputy Speaker, Conservative, Bruce Stanton]

We are into another area of debate, I believe, rather than points of order. We know these things do happen, but we do need to get back to the debate that is before the House.

We are going back to the member for Foothills for the continuation of his remarks.

[John Barlow, Conservative, Foothills, AB]

Mr. Speaker, this goes to what I am speaking about regarding Bill S-6 and why it is important for this committee to travel.

We are talking about the value of canola and how it has dropped for Canadian producers by $1 billion on the product they are trying to sell now. Where is our agriculture minister when all this is going on? She is travelling around Canada doing photo ops. She should be in China resolving this issue as quickly as possible.

Our Canadian producers can no longer be paying the price for the Liberals' failures on economic policy and certainly on foreign affairs. Over and over again, it is Canadian agriculture that is paying the price, whether it is the carbon tax, trade issues with India, durum wheat to Italy, and now China no longer taking our canola, wheat, peas and who knows what is next.

In fact, I am so frustrated with what has been going on with the Liberal government that I would like to move:

That the House do now adjourn.

[The Deputy Speaker, Conservative, Bruce Stanton]

The question is on the motion. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?

No.

[The Deputy Speaker, Conservative, Bruce Stanton]

[The Deputy Speaker, Conservative, Bruce Stanton]

All those opposed will please say nay.

[Some hon. members]

Nay.

[The Deputy Speaker, Conservative, Bruce Stanton]

In my opinion the yeas have it.

I declare the motion carried.
