Mr. Speaker, the hon. member opposite tells us that quotas will not survive. For 1995, the tariff for fluid milk is 283.8 per cent minimum and, by the year 2000, it will be 241 per cent minimum. Does the hon. member mean to say that these tariffs are too low? If so, how can he be so out of touch with the agricultural community?
Let me tell you what André Chabot, the president of the Franco-Ontarian Farmers' Union, had to say. I referred earlier to what the leaders of the Quebec agricultural community had said. I will now address the situation in Ontario. The hon. member for Québec-Est is a Franco-Ontario, just like me. Mr. Chabot's letter reads: "Canadian farmers agree that Canadian supply management systems are in no way threatened by the new GATT rules. Some even see this as an improvement over the situation under article XI". Certainly a Franco-Ontarian like my chum across the way can understand that.
