"en": "<p>Mr. Speaker, I am certainly the first to admit that I am not personally known as an expert on agriculture, except that I should tell my hon. colleague that I am a farmer.</p>\n<p>I have a farm where I raise beef in the riding of Brome-Missisquoi; it is one of the most beautiful parts of Quebec and I invite him to come and visit my farm and really see what it is to work the land.</p>\n<p>I also invite the agriculture critic of the Bloc Quebecois. I can talk to him as to a Quebec farmer and I can certainly tell him that, for me, as a Quebec farmer, not only the provincial government is important, the federal government is important too.</p>\n<p>They ask when we will confront the Americans. It has been done. I was in Washington two days ago. I met the Treasury Secretary there, I raised the issue of the debate that we are having here and I can assure the House that we will hold our ground in these discussions with the Americans and we will win because we are right.</p>",
