Mr. Speaker, I had the opportunity in an earlier answer to outline some very impressive statistics about how the Canadian supply management system benefits the dairy industry in the province of Quebec.
By the very fundamental definition of supply management, the domestic market of a producing country is preserved primarily for the benefit of that country's domestic producers. A separate Quebec would obviously no longer be part of the Canadian domestic market. As a result the dairy industry in Quebec could be placed in very substantial jeopardy.
The clearest, best, strongest answer for preserving all these benefits for the dairy industry in Quebec and for the dairy industry in Canada is a clear and decisive no on October 30.
