Is it possible that the agreement could come into effect before August 1st and thus deprive dairy farmers of the first year?

I understand that there are still a lot of things to put in place and that there are a lot of technical details. Beyond that, is it possible that our farmers could lose the first year of the agreement? If so, can we do something to improve that situation?

Was that part of the negotiations? Did you raise that point? Has anyone come forward to do that?
