Canada-U.S. Relations  Mr. Speaker, I wish the Prime Minister would show that kind of fight with the United States when some of our commodities are at risk. He has failed when it comes to our trade relationship with the United States. He has failed on energy. He has failed on softwood lumber. He has fa

Canada-U.S. Relations  Mr. Speaker, what did the Prime Minister's Office say when Bud the Spud from the bright red mud rolled into Ottawa looking for help? They sent him to city hall. It was the Conservatives who brought the spuds back to Parliament Hill so they could not be ignored. However, potato gr

Canada-U.S. Relations  Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister has just admitted that the government self-inflicted a wound before the United States did anything. He has admitted that this decision was based on politics, not science. In fact, the agriculture minister has said the same thing. The Liberal member

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, will the Liberal government open an investigation under the Canada Transportation Act to resolve the shipping container crisis in Canada?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Here is the problem, Mr. Speaker. The United States has already taken action and now shipping lanes are being rerouted from Canada to the United States, bottlenecking agriculture commodities and manufactured products in Canada not having access to international markets. Will th

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  The problem, Mr. Speaker, is the United States is kicking our butt because it is getting these things resolved and we are not. The United States has also indicated that the Liberal policy of front-of-package labelling is a technical irritant under the barrier of trade. Does the

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, does front-of-package labelling violate the CUSMA agreement?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, I will be splitting my time with the member for Prince Albert. I am going to be focusing my questions mainly on the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Prime Minister has admitted that his self-imposed export ban on Prince Edward Island potatoes to the United States

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, why are the Liberals outsourcing our foreign affairs and trade policies to the United States?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, the Liberal government did it under CUSMA with our dairy processing and dairy products in that we have to have permission from the United States if we want to export those products. Now it has done it again with P.E.I. potatoes, taking the lead from the United States

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, does the minister agree with the agriculture minister and the member from P.E.I. that the decision to ban P.E.I. potato exports to the United States was not based on science but was based on politics, yes or no?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, fighting for farmers in other provinces has put their livelihood at risk by a political decision by the government. Does the government also understand that there are other industries at risk? What is the government's position on COOL?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, the government failed on potatoes, energy and softwood lumber. What is the next shoe to drop? Has the government spoken with its counterparts in the United States? Has the foreign affairs minister talked to the United States about COOL?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, will Canada's beef and pork industries be protected if the United States goes through with trying to implement country-of-origin labelling?

Supplementary Estimates (B), 2021-22  Mr. Speaker, the Liberals have not done so with P.E.I. potatoes. Is there a retaliation if the United States were to impose country-of-origin labelling on our beef and pork industries? Will the government retaliate, yes or no?
