Thank you.
I would send this message out to anyone here: Talk about supply management and the vital role it plays in the availability of fresh, local and high-quality food and dairy, poultry and egg products. We're talking about stability in our supply chain, the quality and safety of products for Canadian consumers and fair returns for our hard-working farmers.
Supply management is going to benefit consumers, farmers and processors. There are 62 chicken farms in my riding of Kitchener—Conestoga, and I've had conversations on that on the Hill this week and with some of those farmers in the last few weeks.
Can someone explain what specific initiatives the $507 million allocated for supply management will be used for and how those initiatives will support the stability of our supply-managed sector?
