Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My turn is always after the honourable member's. I have the utmost respect for him, but once again, there's something I need to correct.
The Minister of Agriculture, along with the Minister of International Trade, came out very strongly on the voluntary labelling issue, and I encourage people to read the news release the ministers put out on March 7 if they haven't had a chance yet.
Mr. Lehoux obviously hasn't had a chance to read the news release, so I encourage him to do so. I won't read it, because I know he has resources and he'll be able to find it.
The ministers' position was loud and clear in the news release: Canada will always protect its meat sector.
To the Cattle Association, I know exports are extremely important and that you guys have done a tremendous job of protecting the environment and the grasslands. Protecting the grasslands is something you have championed for years and years, and that story's not being told enough. I tell it as much as I can. I'm not attacking media, but it's not being told enough by our mainstream media. They need to tell this story. We have a great environmental story to tell. The dairy farmers are doing the same thing, and everyone's doing their part.
We often talk about net zero in terms of consumers and export opportunities, and I think your sector is playing a major role. What do you think the export opportunities are? How does that tie into our Indo-Pacific strategy, especially related to agriculture?
