Hon. Sergio Marchi (Minister for International Trade, Lib.)
Mr. Speaker, I thought question period was to be a serious form of engagement. Perhaps the member might have a serious question.

Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 32(1) it is my honour to table before the House, in both official languages, the 1998-99 Team Canada Inc. achievement report. As members will know Team Canada Inc. involves over 20 departments and agencies of the Government of Canada, each touching in some way the aspect of international trade.

Hon. Sergio Marchi (Minister for International Trade, Lib.)
Mr. Speaker, the member should know that a few years ago four provinces and the entire industry recommended to the federal government that we enter into this agreement. The member also knows that I have instructed our officials, two years before the agreement lapses, to consult with the same industry and the provinces to try to gather a national consensus on where we go from here. Will they want to continue the agreement? Do they want changes? Do they want to have no agreement?
We are engaged in that process. It is the member that is going through the motions.

Hon. Sergio Marchi (Minister for International Trade, Lib.)
Mr. Speaker, yet again the Reform Party is late. Not only are we fighting but we have already consulted the American side. We have told them that we will be proceeding through the dispute mechanism system as well as taking this to the World Customs Organization.
We are trying to work within the confines of this agreement. But we do not accept the American intention to expand the agreement into areas that quite frankly are unfair. We will, and have already started the claim.

Hon. Sergio Marchi (Minister for International Trade, Lib.)
Mr. Speaker, the member is correct. We only received the report last week, on March 17.
Yesterday the federal government met with the stakeholders from the dairy industry. As well, it has consulted all of the provinces.
I am now in a position on behalf of my colleague the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and the Government of Canada to say quite clearly that indeed it is our intention to make an appeal and thereby stand four-square behind the dairy industry.
