Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, everyone.
I appreciate the witnesses being here, and I thank them for their work. I appreciate the questions from my colleagues as well.
I would like to come back to some of the points my Conservative colleagues raised earlier about export limits on milk proteins, milk by-products. These are unprecedented concessions, especially given the new loopholes in the supply management system.
We talked about compensation. Of course, compensation has been promised, but we all know that they will never be able to fully compensate for market shares lost forever. This export market in third countries that are not signatories to the agreement is one of the ways in which dairy producers can recover money or liquidate surpluses.
Do you think that is acceptable?
Earlier, you, yourself, described these provisions as extraordinary, and you said that you have never seen anything like it. Could you elaborate on that? How did we get to the point where we signed that?
