Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you, Mr. Thériault, for being here.
Thank you, Mr. Roche, for joining us. Like my colleague indicated earlier, there are a number of dairy farms and farm families in the Niagara region. Previously, prior to getting into elected life, I had the pleasure of working with representatives of the Dairy Farmers of Ontario for a number of years. I know the importance of the supply management system and those it impacts, particularly in the farm families.
I wanted to follow up with some of the questions that were asked earlier on the notion of consultations that you undertook prior to the design of the legislation. Did you seek a legal opinion on the legislation and whether or not it would be WTO-compliant?
