David Bexte Conservative
“Canadian ranchers need real access to foreign markets and a government that protects them. Will the Mercosur trade deal actually help our farmers and ranchers?”
“Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives support free trade, and ranchers do not need another Liberal press release about trade diversification. They need real market access and a government willing to defend their industry here at home. This is not a game, but the Liberals are acting like the beef industry is a convenient bargaining chip. Would the Mercosur deal actually benefit farmers and ranchers in Canada?”
