I'm just not comfortable to proceed to the vote yet.
This came as a surprise when we came to the meeting. The discussions on the table were transportation and TPP, and now we've been brought into....I'm very happy to be a constructive partner in terms of having discussions about Growing Forward 3, but as it stands now, we have no idea what the minister's inviting us to do.
The parliamentary secretary has put it on the record that, in fact, we are being invited by the Minister of Agriculture to be involved in the negotiations or to supplement the negotiation process. I'm very curious as to what that would look like, how that framework...How technically would we be involved, considering the very tight time frames?
If in fact he is, I'd like that in writing, so that committee members can review it before voting on it.
