Mr. Chair, as a point of discussion for all the members on this committee, I obviously understand the nature of what Mr. Barlow is putting forward, but I'm curious as to whether the opposition and the other members of this committee have had any conversations with the dairy industry itself to see whether the industry feels this motion is helpful to it, or whether the motion might compromise it in any way, or if this is actually in its interest. Of course, we're all members of Parliament—Liberals, Conservatives, the Bloc and the NDP—but at the end of the day we're all here to serve Canadians and try to work in the best interests of agriculture.
I'm going to put it out for discussion to see whether the opposition has had any conversations with the dairy industry on this point.
