Mr. Speaker, I appreciate any questions about supply management because I will personally defend it the very best I can. It is working. We all agree that we have the best quality of food and the safest supply of food in the world. It is less expensive today to buy milk or to buy butter in Canada than it is in the United States.
The government will fight to protect our producers. Yes, a previous government worked at it but Reform was not there showing support for farmers since supply management. I would ask its members to talk to their western colleagues in the supply management business.
Supply management is the only part of the agriculture sector that has been healthy each year in the past, and I ask the member to support it.
