Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for the question.

I want to assure the hon. member that we, as a federal government, will respect all our trade obligations. We think our dairy pricing policy and the tariff rate quotas for fluid milk do comply with all our trade obligations.

I assure the hon. member we will defend our policies before any trade panel.
