Mr. Speaker, we learned this week that India has placed a ban on wheat exports as a result of poor crop yields. It is Canada's responsibility to step up to the plate and meet this new global demand, but because of the current government's failed policies, like the carbon tax and a failure to grow our export markets, our farmers are now left with their hands tied. Why has the minister failed to secure greater market access for Canadian wheat, which would allow our farmers to step up and meet this looming global food shortage?

Mr. Speaker, in March 2019, two Canadian companies with operations in several Canadian provinces had their canola seed exports to China suspended by Chinese customs authorities. Can the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food tell the House if there have been any recent developments?

Mr. Speaker, we know how important Canadian grain is. Canadian grain is of high quality and is also important to world food security. When two Canadian companies had their exports suspended in China, we took all the necessary action and worked closely with the industry. I am pleased to tell the House that these companies can now resume their canola exports to China.
