Mr. Speaker, the Union des producteurs agricoles, the Producteurs de lait du Québec, and Quebec's minister of agriculture all criticized the funding shortfall in the Minister of International Trade's plan to help dairy producers, yet he had the nerve to say that the reason the program ended after just one week was that it worked so well.
To farmers in my riding and all across Quebec, that is outrageous. The program ended because there was not enough money.
Does the minister even listen when dairy producers tell him that the program is not good enough?
