Thank you, Mr. Chair.
When NAFTA was signed by the Mulroney government, we were told the end of the world was coming, but nothing happened. Not a single farm was supposed to be left in Quebec. Yet the farms are still there. Quebec is a province with 8 million people, in a country with about 35 million people. We have to see how we can maintain jobs and improve the quality of life. To share wealth, we must generate it.
Let me turn to you, the folks from Agropur. You had front-row seats at the negotiations on this entire process where dairy producers were represented. We will hear from other dairy producers today.
We remember the Americans' request. We must not fool ourselves: the Americans wanted to renegotiate NAFTA through the TPP.
In your view, what was the outcome of the negotiators' work in terms of what the Americans were asking at the beginning regarding the opening of agricultural markets, including those under supply management? What was the outcome?
