Thank you very much for your question, Mr. Martel.
When we talk about collective marketing, it doesn't matter whether the producers are in L'Anse-Saint-Jean, Quebec, or in the north of western Canada, the prices are the same throughout Canada for the work done. This provides a fair price for an efficient producer. In fact, this last element is one of the principles of the Canadian Dairy Commission Act. This can be seen by looking at the increases in recent years.
In spite of this, farms across Canada have ceased operations. However, productivity has been maintained everywhere, resulting in an agricultural model.
In Quebec and Canada, we have chosen a family farm model to support our families and our communities. This small-scale production model is very well suited to consumers, and to your constituents as well, and allows us to provide a decent income for farm families in Quebec and Canada.
