Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Agriculture. In eliminating dairy subsidies, the Minister of Finance will be taking $1.3 billion away from dairy producers over the next ten years, without any compensation in return. Grain producers, however, have received $2.9 billion in compensation.
Does the Minister of Agriculture admit that his action is unfair to the dairy producers of Canada, who would be entitled to expect compensation of at least $800 million, of which $400 million should go to the dairy producers of Quebec?
