First of all, I would like to perhaps mention that since the entry into force of the Agreement on Internal Trade in 1995, a number of initiatives among subgroups of provinces took place and really created, in sub-regions of Canada, a momentum and greater integration. The first one that comes to mind is the New West Partnership that groups British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan together, and where they largely liberalize completely the interprovincial trade among actually the four western provinces, including Manitoba as well. Another example is an increase in cooperation and integration between Quebec and Ontario. That is a system that is a bit less rigid, less formally defined, but it is also liberalizing trade and addressing interprovincial trade issues between Quebec and Ontario. These are initiatives that move in that direction.
In a certain number of sectors there are more challenges than in others. We spoke about the red meat sector because of the challenges associated with meeting the federal standards. Another area is dairy and poultry; there are challenges there, because setting the production levels and the prices would be especially important. It's an element that intersects with the supply management system. In that regard, if you want to manage these elements, well, you might have some requirements in terms of the movement. That being said, to again use the example of yogourt, you have the western provinces pulling together their resources to facilitate the movement of fluid milk, to bring the milk from the producer, the farmer, to the right processing plant. You have the same thing in eastern Canada.
These are illustrations that despite the challenges, efforts are being made, but we can always do better and more.
