Mr. Speaker, World Milk Day is coming up in a few days.
Let us raise a glass to this simple yet essential food. Milk has endured through the ages and across cultures. It is more than just a drink; it is a powerhouse of benefits. It fuels our bodies, strengthens our bones and rounds out our bowl of cereal in the morning and our dessert at night. World Milk Day also provides an opportunity to celebrate the commitment of the farmers who work hard every day, with passion and perseverance, to supply us with this nutritious beverage. World Milk Day is a day to reflect on how milk gets to our table, through essential work that is invisible to most of us.
Today, let us spare a thought for that glass of milk and the supply management system that is behind both it and our farmers, who get up every morning and keep our regions strong.
I wish everyone good health and a happy World Milk Day.
