Thanks, Mr. Chair.
I wonder if Mr. BĂ©land could kind of take us a step back forty-plus years ago and express to the committee why the feather industry, the poultry industry in Canada, adopted a supply-managed model, and maybe comment about some of the issues that were happening, say, in Michigan and northern New York in the feather industry and how they moved to the southern U.S., to Georgia and Alabama.
Could you enlighten us with a little history lesson about why supply management came into the country?
