Mr. Speaker, I would like to pursue this matter a little bit further. I think it is very important that Quebec dairy farmers and Quebec farmers involved in supply management really consider this issue. It is extremely important.
I would like to ask the member to pursue this a little further. First Quebec is not a signatory to GATT or the free trade agreements. These agreements would not apply if Quebec were to separate. This is the first thing to consider.
Second, international law has never had a precedent set that would be along the line of Quebec voluntary separation. There is no precedent under international law.
I would like this member to explain how he can go straight faced to the Quebec dairy farmers and say we are not going to have a massive problem in terms of having markets available and with regard to prices falling virtually overnight to world prices, not to the artificially high prices set under supply management in Canada.
