Thank you, Mr. Groleau.
Mr. Bourbeau, I would like to provide a slightly different explanation of what you said earlier. Canada chose to sign the TPP. The countries we negotiated with requested access to our market. Canada did not come to the negotiation table saying that it would give up its duties on milk. That is not what happened. I simply wanted to give a different explanation.
Our partners requested access to a larger share of our market. You were there and you know very well what the starting position was. The Americans wanted this much and ended up with that much.
My question is for Mr. Bourbeau and Mr. Groleau. What direction should we take in research? You talked about research for the future. I am from a nordic region. There was mention of our nordic climate as regards our products. In view of climate change, I think this will become even more important. You have cut research, but we would like to see more of it in the future. What areas should we focus on to counter these impacts on our markets? How can we use research to open our markets and become more competitive?
