Mr. Speaker, unlike the Conservative Party, the Liberal Party has always defended supply management.
We introduced the system 40 years ago, and it still works very well for farmers and producers. We will always defend supply management. When we had to renegotiate NAFTA with an American president who wanted to completely dismantle supply management, we held our own and were able to negotiate a good agreement.
We pledged to compensate supply-managed farmers, and that is exactly what we are doing.
