Thank you, Mr. Chair.
With regard to the honourable member's question, it is quite correct that if increased MPC imports did displace solids, not fat, in cheese manufacturing, it would increase the skim milk powder surplus that has to be dealt with in the system. It's already a substantial surplus and it would be increased.
For some years, the storage costs for that have been the responsibility of the dairy sector. With regard to the sharing of those costs between producers and processors, that's a matter that's worked out between provincial boards and provincial processors in the negotiation at the provincial level, and it's not something that the federal government directly intervenes in.
