GOVERNMENT ORDERS

The Order was read for the consideration of the Business of Supply.

Mr. Borotsik (Brandon -- Souris), seconded by Mr. MacKay (Pictou -- Antigonish -- Guysborough), moved, -- That this House regrets the failure of the government to recognize the importance of Canada's food industries:

(a) by failing to provide leadership, a long-term vision and workable solutions for Canada's fishery and agriculture sectors;

(b) by not adequately preparing for the decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in R. v. Marshall which acknowledged fishing, hunting and gathering rights for Canada's aboriginal Peoples; and

(c) by failing to address the serious problems of Canada's agricultural producers, who are suffering from increasing subsidized competition, rising input costs, natural and economic disasters, and an inadequate long-term national safety net, the result of which has contributed greatly to increased financial and mental stresses on family farms and in fishing communities;

and, therefore, this House urges the government to give consideration to the immediate and long-term needs of Canada's agriculture and fishing industries.
