Madam Speaker, if I have only a minute left, I would like to remind you that, here in Ottawa, on May 2, 3 and 4 the representatives of nine provinces discussed matters in detail. Six of them subsequently made a three-point proposal to Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. If you permit me, I will read it to you.
The proposal to British Columbia was to pool industrial milk revenues on August 1, 1996. Fluid milk revenues would be added the following year, on August 1, 1997. The province would keep much of the future increases in fluid milk, because the population in British Columbia is the fastest growing in Canada.
Madam Speaker, I thank you very much for your attention. As I indicated to the Speaker before you, five of my colleagues will help me with Bill C-86. They are the hon. members for Champlain, Lotbinière-
