Mr. Chairman, I think the government has made it clear that we will defend the interests of the supply management sector in all our trade negotiations. That's the position that we have taken in all the negotiations, including the Canada-U.S. free trade negotiations, and subsequently in the NAFTA.
I think at this point it is a hypothetical question to refer to whether there would be any transition period here. In fact, the instruction that we have been receiving from the government is to continue to maintain our position on supply management, which is to defend the integrity of the supply management system in all our trade negotiations.
