Mr. Speaker, today is World Milk Day. It is an opportunity to thank our dairy farmers, processors and producers who work hard to supply our country with delicious milk. Our farmers give their all every day to provide us with healthy, quality dairy products. The products are made with care, safely and in an increasingly eco-friendly way. The Canadian dairy industry is known the world over for its superior quality. Dairy products are an important part of our food experience and a mainstay of our economy. The industry is an economic driver in rural municipalities, including mine, and contributes to our dynamic land use. We are proud not only of the calibre of our dairy industry, but also of its environmental innovation. Our dairy sector is a world leader, and the hard work of our farmers, producers and processors should be celebrated. I wish them all a happy World Milk Day.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honour of World Milk Day, which is celebrated every year on June 1. I want to thank all of our 10,000 dairy farms and our 500-plus processing plants in Canada. These men and women wake up at dawn every day, put on their work boots and do an incredible job to feed Canadians by providing quality products that make us proud. There are several such businesses in my riding that consistently provide products that are among the best, the healthiest and the most nutritious in the world. Not only do these farmers produce the best products in the world, but they also play an important role in helping Canada meet its environmental objectives. On behalf of all of my colleagues in Parliament, I thank them for their hard work. We will continue to support our agricultural sector, which is the economic engine that will put our economy back on its feet. On this World Milk Day, I encourage all my colleagues to raise a glass of milk in honour of the Canadians in our dairy industry, who work very hard for all of us.

Mr. Speaker, today, June 1, we are celebrating World Milk Day. This year, again, I want to acknowledge the contribution of dairy farmers who take care of their herds and put high-quality milk on our tables, as well as precious milk products such as butter, yoghurt and cheese. Today, milk was delivered to the lobby. It was a good opportunity to raise a glass to the health of our local farmers, which we did with pleasure, because milk and milk products are healthy and nutritious food. Dairy farmers and farmers of other supply-managed products fared better than others during the pandemic. That is just more proof that they have an effective system. We need to quickly pass version 2.0 of our bill that seeks to protect supply management from any further breaches in future free trade negotiations. Long live our dairy production here at home.
