Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Mr. Currie, you said that in CUSMA, 11%.... I want to back up.
Everyone around this table supports supply management. I support supply management. I have many supply-managed farms in my riding. I visit them often and I fully support them. Supply management is a fantastic and excellent system. I know all Conservative members agree with this. I want that to be very clearly stated on the record.
When we're asking these questions, we're trying to understand how this bill could affect future trade negotiations. When we ask these questions, we're not asking them because we don't like supply management or because we feel that it shouldn't be protected; it should be protected.
What I think we get to is this. You said that 11% access was granted through CUSMA. We have had Government of Canada officials come and say that we do everything we can to protect supply management, everything. When we go into a trade negotiation, we say that we are not giving access to supply management.
Does it not then lead you to the only inevitable conclusion, which is that they granted that market access because if they didn't, there would be no trade deal?
