Mr. Speaker, we have always stood up for dairy producers and supply management, and we always will.
We committed to full and fair compensation in the amount of $1.75 billion, and that will be delivered before the end of the fiscal year. Beginning in August 2019, all dairy producers who applied received a cheque for the first instalment.
We protected supply management during negotiations for the new NAFTA. We have kept our promise to compensate farmers, and we will continue to do so.
