Mr. Speaker, I would like to begin by congratulating my colleague on his election. His riding neighbours mine, actually.
Let me reassure my colleague. The Speech from the Throne underscores our commitment to protecting the people who provide us with fresh, healthy food, like our farmers. We have an ambitious plan to protect Canadian agri-food workers. We are also committed to protecting our supply management system. I understand how important the supply management system is. It is extremely important to my riding's economy as well.
I wanted to use my time to reassure my colleague. We have a plan, and I can assure everyone that we will work to ensure food security.
