There's no question that this is a dilemma and a difficulty we have in this country. The view of Alberta Pork or Canadian Pork is not that we're against supply management at all. It's fine if groups want to remain small and not add to the bigger picture of exporting out of this country. That's their choice. But the difficulty comes when the government puts in place policies that support one sector but affect the other ones detrimentally. That's the argument we have.
Last year, when Canada stood alone against 148 countries in protecting sensitive products, it hurt our negotiating ability at the WTO. We need to keep that strength in the WTO, along with the respect we have there, to encourage exports around the world, not hurt products like ours to the benefit of another product. We don't want to play one against the other; just don't hurt ours.
