Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Minister, lady and gentlemen deputy ministers, I want to thank you for being here today.
My colleague Jacques Gourde asked you the same question as the one I wanted to ask. I heard your answer, but it was not clear. When are you going to act? The problem of diafiltered milk coming into Canada is really serious. It is costing producers approximately $1,000 a week.
You said you were negotiating with industry representatives, but I sincerely believe that you have to take a leadership role in this file. More than 100 days have gone by since the election, and you still have not settled the issue. I know it is difficult, but I think that everyone agrees that the government has to apply the rules and standards that are already in place.
Minister, when are you going to act to solve the problem of diafiltered milk in Canada?
