moved for leave to introduce Bill C‑202, An Act to amend the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Act (supply management).
Mr. Speaker, during the last Parliament, all of the political parties supported a bill aimed at protecting the entire supply management system, which then protects the interests of both consumers and producers in terms of quality and financial predictability.
As I promised during the election campaign, I am introducing a similar bill this morning. Once again, I note that all of the political parties in the House have indicated that they will support this initiative. I therefore hope that we can move forward quickly, with the support of all members. This bill is extremely important to the economic model in Quebec's regions and many Canadian regions as well, and it deserves our urgent attention.
