Good morning, Mr. Plamondon.
I applaud him for the work he has been doing in the House of Commons for years. I urge him not to adopt the bad habits of the ministers he has heard over the years by taking a lot of time to answer because I have a lot of questions to ask him today.
First of all, I welcome my colleague's initiative. The object of the bill is dear to the hearts of supply-managed producers: there must be no new concessions on supply management in future free trade agreements with other countries. I share that position, as does my party.
In fact, it's a commitment that was made by all the party leaders in the House, and it was confirmed following the disastrous agreement signed with the United States. I believe that's the correct adjective to describe it. We've conceded both quotas and our sovereign right to export powdered milk. In short, we have a lot of work to do.
My question for the member is this: does he trust the Liberals, yes or no, to comply with this act if it becomes a reality?
