Thank you, Mr. Chair.
With respect to this motion, I would like to point out that the renegotiation of the Trans-Pacific Partnership is under way. Originally a deal between 12 countries, it now involves 11. As we know, the TPP poked a hole in our supply management system, a 3% market share, in fact. I think we need to hear from our dairy producers and assess the adverse effects that hole could have. Having the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food hear what they have to say is not only relevant, but also timely.
Yes, the issue we are studying now is a very important one, and we will continue that study. Given, though, that the negotiations are happening as we speak, I think we would do well to hear from dairy producers on the Trans-Pacific Partnership. That is something we could be proud of.
Thank you.
