Thank you very much.
I thank the minister and his officials for being here today.
Over 80% of my riding is agricultural in nature. There are approximately 1,000 farms of various kinds, and 13,000 jobs depend directly or indirectly on agriculture or agri-food. The agricultural economy is extremely important in my area.
I am going to ask a question related to the one which has already asked concerning diafiltered milk.
At the last meeting of the committee, the Dairy Farmers of Canada proposed that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency delegate to the Canadian Dairy Commission the responsibility for monitoring the composition of cheese made by Canadian processors.
What is your position on that? What do you think of the opinion that was expressed by the dairy producers?
