Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Bose, I'm glad you mentioned that poor Canadian families have to pay a high price for expensive milk. Canada is a trading nation. The richness, the high standard of living we have today, basically has come from trading. Sixty per cent of our GDP is from trading. It is from exporters like Mr. Hilgartner and others that we continue to have this richness in Canada.
You already mentioned the New Zealand dairy farmers. You said milk is expensive there. Nonetheless, we have to appreciate how the New Zealand dairy industry changed and has grown to be a significant player in the world. If we don't allow imports into some sectors inside Canada, how can you ask other countries to open their markets for our exports?
Mr. Hilgartner, you mentioned some trade barriers with respect to India. I think it is important that we know both the tariff and non-tariff barriers faced by exporters like you. Before going to other markets like China or India, do you have any concerns or are there any non-tariff barriers in the North American market?
