Madam Chair, I just wanted to say to the member from Quebec that I appreciate his position on supply management, and over the time that I have been here, many of his colleagues have stood and defended supply management. I also appreciate his anxiety around the minister's reluctance to use article XXVIII.
We know that our American neighbours, for example, never fail to take an opportunity to call on any article to defend their industry. I know that on the softwood lumber file, for example, even when they lose, they call the article again and again, because they feel so strongly about defending their industry.
I would like to ask the member if he could give me some sense of the impact on farming in Quebec if in fact this goes ahead and this article is not used by the minister.
