No, we weren't. It wouldn't surprise me if commodity organizations such as the Dairy Farmers of Canada were also not consulted. And if they were consulted, how formal were those consultations? Was it just a meeting over a phone? Were there any records kept?
In the last appearance of Agriculture Canada and the trade negotiators, in their reference to discussions with dairy farmers, they weren't able to produce any written records of those meetings. They just said, basically, that these were all oral comments. So I don't know how seriously you can take consultations like those as serious discussions.
