Mr. Speaker, I must tell my hon. colleague that he is absolutely right. I remember very well the $4.3 billion that the Conservatives promised during the negotiations with Europe. However, they were very slow to table it, and there was a change of government. The government said that it would keep that promise. Again, that is going very slowly. It is more than slow. A first instalment was paid last year, but there was nothing this year. They are now talking about $1.8 billion instead of $4.3 billion. We know that supply-managed producers are losing $450 million per year. The Minister of Agriculture urgently needs to speak with the Minister of Finance.
A budget will be tabled soon; an economic statement is coming on Monday. I hope that they will say something about this promise and that a concrete announcement will be made this year.
