Thank you, Mr. Lampron.
Thank you, Mr. Perron, for your question.
Clearly, we are not against trade. The objective of our supply management model is to respond to Canadian market needs.
We noticed this when large quotas of cheese were allowed under CETA. It amounted to 17,500 tonnes of European cheese, or 17.7 million kilograms, that would enter Canada with top revenue for dairy farms.
Other agri-food sectors were promised access to European Union markets and consumers. However, many farms are still waiting for the impact of these trade agreements to kick in, because additional tariff barriers were imposed to impede trade somewhat.
That's why we have some reservations about allowing concessions without assurances for other sectors.
