Thank you for your answer.
Can you confirm that under the protocol to replace NAFTA, article 2 states that this protocol and its annex shall enter into force on the first day of the third month following the last notification and that therefore, if Bill C-4 is fast-tracked as the government wishes, the agreement will apply before the beginning of the dairy year, which begins in August?
Therefore, dairy farmers would only benefit from a few weeks of the first year of the agreement because the second year of the agreement would have already begun.
Correct me if I'm wrong. In the first year, 55,000 tonnes could be exported. In the second year, 35,000 tonnes could be exported. We are talking about a major financial issue for Canadian dairy producers and processors.
Have I read the facts correctly?
