Mr. Speaker, I am very disappointed by my colleague's answer. He delivered a partisan speech.
Members generally do not make partisan speeches in the House when we are talking about agriculture over the long term, because we are talking about people's lives.
In Canada, agriculture is a way of living. These people are very important to this side of the House. We need them every single day. My colleague read out the text that was given to him, I am sure. I hope for his sake that he understands the substance of what he said.
It is not acceptable to make a partisan speech when people truly need our help. My colleague needs to understand that the diafiltered milk problem has to be resolved. They have 15 days left to fulfill their promise. I would like to at least hear some talk about a possible solution. Our Canadian dairy producers deserve at least a glimmer of hope.
