Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
As far as the honourable member's question with regard to the stability of the dairy industry is concerned, I think it's fair to say that since the end of the Uruguay Round, there has been growth in the industrial sector of the dairy industry. To some extent, that has rolled back in the last two years, but the dairy sector has been characterized by considerable stability. Obviously the concern is with anything that would undermine that stability, but I think the indicators we look at suggest that at the present time the situation in dairy is fairly stable.
There are some specific problems in terms of the excess quantities of skim milk powder that are available and that are putting a strain on the system, but I would say the overall picture is one of stability. At the same time, there is also consolidation going on in terms of the number of producers and processors, and that I think is reflected in the comments the member made.
