Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech today and for the great explanation of the importance of supply management. It is a very important issue in my riding of North Okanagan—Shuswap. I truly support the dairy and poultry producers there and the economic input they have.
I would like to ask the member if he sees this issue popping up today as a deflection issue to take the focus away from what really concerns dairy producers across Canada, and has for a number of months, while the Liberal government dithers and does not deal with the issue of diafiltered milk entering Canada. Does he see this as a deflection issue?
