I would say that what I have heard reflects largely what the committee has heard from the export-oriented part of Canada's agriculture sector, which is a concern that any action taken to continue to protect the supply management sectors.... Generally speaking, I think the agricultural industry understands the reason that we have to take these steps to protect supply-managed industries. They want to ensure that it is done in a way that does not foreclose on their ability to pursue export-oriented opportunities and they want the government to negotiate meaningful market access opportunities in the context of our free trade agreement. I think that is largely consistent with the message this committee heard.
