Mr. Speaker, I am glad the hon. member, who provided the intervention, is back to talking about BSE as opposed to watching the hon. member from the Conservative Party make a totally inappropriate case. He forgets or ignores the fact that the U.S. administration stands four-square behind Canada. The U.S. President stands behind Canada. They absolutely stand behind us. This is not an issue of there being a dispute between the government of the United States and the Government of Canada. The hon. member fails to understand or to realize that. Rather than making comments about the substance of the issue, he resorts to talking about something that is totally unreal.
First, I appreciate the hon. member's assistance in the work we recently did together in Washington.
I have a very specific question. I know she has long advocated the position in terms of the cull animals. Does she believes the action taken by the Canadian Dairy Commission, which provided a $5 increase to dairy producers, a portion of which was specifically to deal with the lost value of cull animals, has had a positive effect on producers across Canada and in her particular province?
