Mr. Speaker, dairy and cheese producers in Quebec need to hear the real story on the agreement with the European Union.
The federal government needs to stop leaving them in the dark with respect to the compensation they will receive to make up for the losses incurred as a result of the 17,000 additional tonnes of European cheese that will be imported.
Quebec's agriculture minister is officially requesting that the government provide a clear picture of the situation and he wants the opinion of Quebec producers to be taken into consideration.
When will the Minister of Agriculture give dairy and cheese producers in Quebec some information and when will he give them their compensation?
