Mr. Speaker, I will take the floor while we are talking about agriculture.
My esteemed colleague, who sits with me on the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food and whom I hold in high regard, raised the lack of transparency in the recent negotiations that were held behind closed doors. This was thrown at us at the last minute, and then we are asked to rush through a vote.
Does he not believe that the agricultural sectors that have been sacrificed so much lately, like the supply-managed sectors, should be protected?
Should we not adopt Bill C-216 to avoid any new surprises?
