Mr. Speaker, the three pillars of supply management are protected by this agreement. At the same time we will give Canadian agricultural producers and farmers access to 500 million new consumers. This is a growth opportunity for our farmers and an opportunity for Canada to add $12 billion and 80,000 jobs to our economy. This is a great victory for consumers, taxpayers and our farmers.
