Mr. Speaker, in the Uruguay round in 1995 the Liberal government put supply management on the table. It took away the protection of the quota system and put in place a tariff system that was designed to reduce protection in the next round of talks at the WTO, which is now ongoing. It was the Liberal government that put supply management at risk and that in fact will change supply management.
My question to the leader of the official opposition is simply this: Is it better to have change and respond to economic conditions around the world and remain competitive as Canadians or to sit like the Liberals and try to freeze time and go back to the 1930s and 1940s as they would have us do?
