Earlier Mr. Easter talked about trying to subsidize agriculture. The Conservatives say that supply management is a subsidized system, which is utterly false, but whatever the case may be, I don't think we could ever compete with the Americans. Without subsidies and without good weather year-round, like what the United States and Brazil have, how could we compete with other countries around the world if we opened our borders? Explain that to me.
