Mr. Speaker, I listened with interest to my colleague's comments, particularly with regard to supply management.
I would like to follow up a bit more. In his presentation the member expressed concern with the implementation of GATT and concerns about which free trade agreement, GATT, NAFTA or CUSTA, really will apply. Canada has one idea in that regard and the United States has another. Certainly these are very important issues.
I would like to ask another question. If Quebec is successful in separating over this next year or so, how would the hon. member rate the harm and damage to the supply managed sector in Quebec because of separation? For example, in dairy they will certainly lose half of their market virtually overnight because right now Quebec has almost 50 per cent of the market with only 25 per cent of the population. Certainly the rest of Canada would not be open to taking this oversupply.
I would like the member to comment on the damage that will be done due to separation as compared to his concerns in regard to the implementation of GATT and the other agreements.
