Thank you.
I'm going to follow up with questions on both these recent topics, intellectual property and supply management, more so on the latter. I also wanted to give you a greater opportunity to respond to one of the comments that was made by my colleague and also by the member from the Liberal Party, and that is why would we want to put our Canadian producers at a systemic disadvantage?
If it's true that the U.S. subsidizes their supply-managed or their agricultural industries behind the scenes, and if it's also true, as we know, that the New Zealand and Australian farmers work in a very different environment--they have a climate advantage, they don't have to keep their cows inside, they can grass feed them--that being the case, why would we want to put Canadian farmers at both of those disadvantages? What's the benefit? Sixty cents a litre--is it worth it?
