I thank my colleague.
Thank you, Madam Chair.
Once again, I thank the witnesses for being with us to provide an impartial opinion, as public servants. It is as such that I would like them to answer my questions.
We hear a lot of people say that we have to reserve access to other products and that protecting supply management by a law would limit the negotiating mandate. However, the politicians all say that they don't want to touch supply management.
Is that not a contradiction? Are we not lying to ourselves a little when we say that we have to keep our cards in our pockets, at the same time promising they will not be touched?
I would like to have your objective opinion as a public servant on this subject, Mr. Forsyth.
