Madam Speaker, I understand the anxiety my colleague is expressing. I want to repeat that supply management is an integral part of Canadian agriculture. I can assure her that we have protected and defended it, and we will continue to protect and defend it.
Trade is essential to the success and competitiveness of our agriculture industry. That is why the government is looking to expand opportunities and to advance the interests of Canadian farmers by negotiating trade agreements and modernizing existing ones.
The government is committed to working with the dairy, poultry and egg sectors to develop a path forward to ensure our supply-managed sectors remain strong, stable and competitive well into the future. The government's support for supply management has been consistent. We will continue to be consistent in supporting our supply-managed sector.
