With respect to the over-quota tariff, I would say that it is essentially a matter of cancelling an agreement that Canada had negotiated under the GATT agreements. Canada had moved ahead with enforcing a new quota that applied to imports from the European Union, among others. Now this customs tariff is being removed, which means that we are not honouring our commitment to Canadian dairy farmers.
