Mr. Speaker, things are not moving fast enough. There are two possible explanations why senators have failed to complete their review of a one-clause bill after 18 months: either they are due for retirement or they are thumbing their noses at us. By “us”, I am not just referring to the parties in the House. They are also thumbing their noses at the supply-managed farmers of Quebec and Canada and the 90,000 Quebec jobs that depend on them. These people deserve some reassurance before the holiday season.
On behalf of our farmers, will all the parties ask the senators to get a move on before the Christmas break?
