Madam Speaker, the Liberal Party is a master in the art of deflecting issues.
To me, diafiltered milk is like termites in a house. If you have termites in your house and do not do something to resolve the problem, sooner or later, it will fall apart.
As I stated very clearly in my speech, diafiltered milk is undermining the three pillars of supply management. First of all, its entry into Canada is no longer being controlled. Second, Canadian farmers have seen a drop in milk prices. Third, their production has also decreased because American diafiltered milk is replacing Canadian milk. Diafiltered milk imports are a direct attack on the three pillars of supply management.
The government acknowledges this problem in its motion, which is why we will be supporting it. However, if the government does not do something, it is part of the problem.
