Mr. Dick Proctor (Palliser, NDP): Mr. Speaker, the minister of agriculture will tell his American counterpart today that the Bush administration is wrong in signing the insidious U.S. farm bill.

7. Regrets the major increase in agriculture subsidies stemming from the USA's Farm Bill (involving subsidies amounting to USD 180 billion over ten years), which is already having a serious effect on agriculture in developing countries;

6. Is critical in this respect of the United States federal law on agriculture recently adopted by Congress, which seeks to increase exports subsidies for American producers, thereby creating unfair competition vis-à-vis unsubsidised producers from the South and contributing to a fall in the price of agricultural products on the exchange market and thus to the impoverishment of rural populations in the developing countries;

If you look at the farm bill the U.S. started somewhere back in 1994-95, you will notice that they started what we think was a very deliberate strategy of buying markets and cross-subsidization in the U.S. While it is true that almost 75 per cent of their agricultural subsidies go to the grains and oilseeds sector, it is also well understood that this results in cross-subsidization to their red meat sector.
