Madam Speaker, Canadian dairy producers are tired of the government ignoring their expertise. In 2018, the former minister of agriculture announced the new dairy vision working group. This group was meant to craft a vision for the future of Canadian dairy, yet industry officials explained to me that the minister has only consulted scientists and has yet to work with farmers.
If the opinion of the dairy farmers is key to the successful future of this industry, why is the minister following the lead of the Prime Minister and not meeting with actual dairy farmers?
