Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his question.
In his statement he said that the dairy farmers do not wish to produce more milk. Bill C-86 is not about producing more milk. It is about providing a proper environment for the new export rules that will be implemented in August of this year. Bill C-86 will open those avenues to the dairy farmers so they can adjust.
Dairy farmers are well aware of the adjustments they have had to make since the Uruguay round of discussions. It is not something that was thrust on them at the last minute.
