Thank you very much for being here.
Like my colleague, I do thank you for your hard work. I know what you're doing is not easy. I just want to zero in a bit more on supply management. I also have a question.
Obviously, negotiations involve give and take. If we said we're not moving on supply management, where do we give, and what effect will this have on other sectors of agriculture? That's my first question.
There was some mention of the Canadian Wheat Board, and your answer was that this is our domestic issue and it's nobody's business if we decide that here. Nevertheless, is there still pressure? Do you find subtle pressure or unofficial pressure at the WTO for us to disband, to change the way we do things?
You also mentioned we're arriving at a difficult situation, coming into discussions on supply management. Once again, given the fact that all of us have just recently met with the dairy farmers and others and the message is that we must keep things as they are, I have a question. Are we prepared to give at all? Are we prepared to move from that 5% or 7.5% over quota and the tariff quotas that we have for produce coming in?
Ultimately then, if we're not prepared to give at all, if everything stays the same so there's no change for our farmers, and if we get the ultimatum from other countries saying, well, look, if you don't give at all here, there's no deal, do you have the instructions then to walk away from this?
I'm just wondering. Negotiations involve give and take. Where is the give and where is the take? Where have we drawn the line? Are we prepared to leave the negotiations if there's pressure to move here?
