Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance. When the Crow benefit was abolished last year, the government recognized the importance of that subsidy by providing $3 billion in compensation. The dairy subsidy that the government is about to phase out, as a result of yesterday's budget, is just as important to milk producers. But strangely enough, there is no compensation in this case.
How can the minister explain the unfairness of this measure that will severely penalize Quebec since 50 per cent of Canada's dairy producers are in that province?
