Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for their important and very interesting presentations.
Mr. Lefebvre, I'm a strong supporter of our supply management system. When we talk about transition plans, we're talking about assistance for the dairy and processing industries.
Last week, I had the honour of participating in a wine and cheese party in my constituency, in Berthierville. The cheese came from the Domaine Féodal cheese factory, which is known around the world. It wins awards everywhere and it's still beating European cheeses.
In the past two to three years, the cheese factory has invested about $1 million in improving its facilities. Its investments are extraordinary.
As you mentioned earlier, the plan announced by the government does not necessarily cover the industry's losses. The annual losses are much higher than the losses predicted in the plan. The government announced $100 million in financial assistance for the processing industry, but we don't yet know the details of the assistance. I know that you're part of the group that will be consulted and that will work on implementing criteria. Do you think the small producers of fine cheeses in Quebec, such as the Domaine Féodal cheese factory or the Ferme Vallée Verte in Saint-Jean-de-Matha, will have access to this compensation? Are you expecting the government to provide other forms of transition assistance?
