Mr. Chair, we must not be talking to the same producers. Local producers involved in secondary and tertiary transformation are not in favour of the 98% rule. They say that, with such a high cut-off, they have no reason to use Canadian products. It is a vicious circle. If they have to buy cheaper products from outside Canada, that affects Canada's entire agricultural economy.
Is the minister aware that these regulations that are supposed to support Canadian products will do exactly the opposite? Has he considered that from the perspective of the Canadian and Quebec economy?
