Madam Speaker, I enjoyed my colleague's speech.
He began his speech by saying that there was absolutely nothing in this bill to support our farmers. I am glad he brought that up because, over the past two weeks, I have been meeting with farmers in my riding, and they all tell me that the best solution is to make sure supply management is never compromised again.
My party introduced a bill calling for a supply management exemption along the same lines as the cultural exemption in negotiations with trading partners.
I do not know if my colleague agrees that the same kind of system should be in place and if he is prepared to support an exemption for supply management, because his party has never stated its position on the subject.
