Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you very much, Ms. Bibeau, and your team at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, for announcing compensation that will allow producers to better plan their operations, especially in these very uncertain times. I am very pleased to know that several producers in Brome-Missisquoi will be able to benefit from it.
After the CETA, our government put in place a program to help dairy producers and processors improve their productivity and competitiveness, and prepare for the market changes that will result from this agreement.
Could you tell the committee how this program was received by the sector and how popular it was?
