Mr. Speaker, today is June 1, World Milk Day.
It is an opportunity to recognize the work of dairy farmers who feed our families and sustain our regions. In the Eastern Townships and across Canada, the dairy industry is at the heart of the regional economy.
Behind every glass of milk, there are families who work seven days a week, innovate and contribute to our food security.
Our dairy producers also play an important role in making sure that Canadians have access to a stable, high-quality local food supply.
Today, I invite all of my colleagues to raise a glass of milk in recognition of the farmers, workers and families behind this important industry.
I want to say thank you to all those who contribute to this vital industry and wish them a happy World Milk Day.
