Mr. Speaker, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate you on being elected Speaker. I wish you every success during this Parliament.
I would also like to congratulate the Prime Minister for surviving his baptism by fire, his first question period and his maiden speech today. We do not mind saying that he did well.
However, a number of questions remain unanswered. One specific question of mine concerns farmers in Quebec and Canada who operate under supply management. This morning, my colleague and leader, the member for Beloeil—Chambly, tabled a bill similar to the one that we introduced in the previous Parliament to protect supply management from any concessions made in future trade negotiations with foreign countries and partners.
The bill is roughly the same as the one that was supported by all the parties when we tabled it during the 44th Parliament. Will the Prime Minister promise today, as he did during the election campaign, that the Liberal Party and his government will support the bill introduced this morning by my colleague and leader, the member for Beloeil—Chambly?
