Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Agriculture has been quoted several times over the past week, stating that outstanding compensation for Canada's dairy farmers will be paid before the end of the year. What is unclear is whether the minister meant the end of the calendar year or the end of the fiscal year.
Despite their repeated promises to stand up for supply management, it was the Liberals who traded away our domestic market in successive trade deals.
The entire process for compensation is shrouded in mystery. When can dairy farmers expect compensation for year two?
