That is totally disappointing to hear.
As our leader likes to say, on this side we should be the servants, not the masters. We should be listening to the input of all those businesses that exist here in Canada on what's better for our sector. There seems to be.... There need to be changes on this end with regard to how that quota is allocated.
We've had before us at this committee an organization called Tree of Life. They bring in specialty cream from the U.K. for high tea and so on. As such, they said that for a nearly two-year period, Tree of Life was unable to bring cream into the Canadian market despite there being no domestic supply, which came at the expense of their thousands of customers.
How does that happen? If there's no domestic supply, how is it that they're not able to get quota to bring that in to service their market and maintain their business so that they continue to exist? There need to be some changes here. Have you spoken to the minister directly on this? Have you asked to speak with her office?
