Mr. Speaker, 2018 will go down in history as the year when the Prime Minister, his ministers and the Liberal members representing rural areas failed to defend Canada's supply-managed farmers.
Between dairy concessions, loss of sovereignty and export limits, farmers were literally sacrificed because the Liberals were too incompetent to negotiate with the Americans.
The milk lottery is the Liberals' latest idea for compensating farmers, but the deadline to apply is in early January.
Is the government willing to give farmers more time, or will this be yet another show of incompetence on supply management?
