I don't know about coordinating the two issues you're talking about. As I mentioned earlier, one of the best long-term measures that I can see for supply management is to have a government that supports supply management. That helps, and we have that right now. A second is to have the dairy industry working group, both the
processors and dairy farmers, to work together for the industry. I think that the composition standards are part of the solution. Indeed, if the farmers are happy with the agreement and the processors' products are in demand on the Canadian market and elsewhere, I think that this will be the beginning of a good solution for the industry.
The taskforce must continue working because there are other issues that need to be resolved, such as, for example, the price of milk, yogurt and other dairy farm products. I think that industry members should work together.
Article 28 is, I think, necessary at this time, given what has happened on milk protein concentrate imports over the last year or two. The dairy farmers brought this to our attention, and we did our own investigation into how much of that product was coming in. With the trend, the graph of what's happening there, it just became clear to us that we had to take some action. By using article 28, we capture not all, but most of that MPC import into Canada and can cap it at a certain level.
So I think there are two issues that we addressed the other day. One is a long-term solution dealing with milk use. The working group will talk about everything from pricing to other issues that exist in the industry. As well, we took the measures to address the other issue, which is milk protein concentrate imports.
The other thing it does is send a message to the industry that the government is serious about long-term answers for the SM5, and particularly for the dairy industry. We're serious about it, we're willing to take action, and we're willing to work with them. I meet often with the executive of the dairy farmers. I met with them a couple of times in Davos when we were there, because obviously part of the answer is to work closely together for the good of the industry, and we're doing that.
