Agriculture committee  I understood two different questions in your question. The compensation is put in place to compensate for the loss of market. This has been evaluated following the work of the working group and the work of our team here at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. We came to this amount of $691 million over 10 years for the CPTPP.

Agriculture committee  It's the first compensation program we've put in place. It provided $250 million to dairy producers and $100 million to processors to help them invest in order to be more productive, among other things. I had the information somewhere on how many projects we were able to support with this program.

Agriculture committee  I wouldn't say it increased, because with the controls we have put in place in recent years, it has decreased. As I said, this is a sector that we have asked the Canada Border Services Agency to focus on. We are investing in additional means to control it. You know that we have the food policy for Canada, which also includes a dimension on food fraud.

Agriculture committee  I will reach out to him, I think, when he is confirmed. I am very confident that the way we are proceeding with the TRQs is respecting our agreement with the United States, and we will follow the process. We will go through the consultation, and I'm very confident that we are doing things the right way.

Agriculture committee  You should not be concerned. We have already made a lot of progress with the working group after the CPTPP was signed, and we already have a good idea of what they want—investment programs and marketing support. We will meet with them next week to update everything, and that will help us develop programs and implement them as quickly as possible.

Agriculture committee  You will recall that, in summer 2019, we committed to provide compensations over eight years. We recognize that our dairy producers need predictability. That is why we focused that commitment over four years instead of over eight years. We want to give them that predictability.

Agriculture committee  Of course, we are following what comes through the border as closely as we can. With the act and the regulations around safe food for Canadians, we have increased our capacity and requirements to ensure that what comes in does meet Canadian standards. You might also be talking about la poule de réforme.

Marie-Claude BibeauLiberal

Agriculture committee  Yes, it's spent fowl. I can tell you that this is one of the priorities that we have asked the border services to look at. We are also investing in ways to be able to tell the difference based on science, because it's not necessarily obvious. We have to develop the tools to control it.
