Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Seppey and Mr. Landreville. It's always a pleasure to have you with us.
I'm not sure whether you are aware, but I represent a Quebec riding, Mauricie-Lanaudière, that is home to a significant number of supply-managed dairy farms. The provisions in both the EU and Trans-Pacific Partnership agreements affect those farms and will have a negative impact on them. Last year, Quebec lost 250 dairy farms. People think these imports will seriously disturb the market balance and cause dairy prices to drop, which will hurt producers.
I gather, from your answers to Jacques Gourde's questions, that the government is in the midst of consultations. The previous government had pledged to give producers compensation. The current government, for its part, has opted to openly consult Canadians and various interest groups.
Do you think the government will decide to offer similar compensation, or will measures be taken once the consultations are over?
