“We are cutting red tape to lower costs for farmers. We also opened seven billion dollars in trade for farm goods in China, and we are opening more markets around the world. The Conservatives ignore the work we are doing to support farmers.”
“Mr. Speaker, we have been focused on lowering costs for farmers. That is exactly why we have an action plan for reducing regulatory tape with the CFIA and the pesticides regulatory directorate. I do not know if the member shared that with the farmers in his constituency. I certainly have in my neck of the woods in Canada. The member talks about the importance of market access. I do not ever hear the Conservatives talking about the seven billion dollars’ worth of agriculture and agri-food market access that the government established in China or the work we are doing to establish market access around the world, whether that is in Europe or the Asia Pacific. The Conservative Party does not even talk about the work that the government is doing to support farmers across the country.”
