Mr. Speaker, it is an ultimatum. Bill C‑282 on supply management has to pass before October 29.
That should be simple. The House voted in favour of the bill, but it has been stuck in the Senate for more than a year. Yesterday, in committee, a senator asked an excellent question. He said, and I quote, “Can you explain why this bill is being held up in the Senate? It is a bill that was supported by the vast majority of members in the democratically elected House.”
The Prime Minister appointed 80% of the senators. Will he tell them that it is time to release the bill?
