Madam Speaker, I would actually like to ask a question that I am hoping the member will be able to answer, because it is an important one. He mentioned Manitoba pork. I had the opportunity to meet with the executive director of Manitoba Pork just a few weeks ago, Cam Dahl, who told me it has a very serious trade issue. The pork industry in Manitoba is worth about $2 billion in GDP and employs over 20,000 people. He said that the country-of-origin labelling issue in the United States is going to have a deleterious effect on Manitoba pork. I presume that since he has been researching agriculture in Manitoba, he is well aware of the issue.
Can the member inform the House as to what tangible steps he has taken to protect the Manitoba pork industry from the onslaught of country-of-origin labelling in the United States?
