Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe for not letting the Prime Minister sacrifice canola and pulse producers. Saskatchewan farmers know that market access to China has been low on the list of priorities for the Liberals. Thankfully, the premier understands a simple truth. If we want to grow the Canadian economy, we must sell to the world. While the premier has done his part, the same cannot be said for the Liberal government. Trade deals are as strong as the logistic networks supporting them. Exporters continue to face congested ports, limited rail capacity and aging infrastructure.
Years of underinvestment and regulatory delays have made Canada an unreliable supplier in the eyes of our trading partners. If the Prime Minister truly believes in expanding access to global markets, he must commit to serious, sustained modernization of our ports, rails and export infrastructure. Saskatchewan knows how to sell to the world. The government must now do its part to expand markets.
