Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the hard-working egg farmers in my riding and across Canada, I want to congratulate Egg Farmers of Canada on its 50th anniversary. Canadian egg producers continue to supply us with fresh, local, affordable and high-quality eggs, despite facing major challenges over the past three years from avian influenza to severe weather to supply chain disruptions. To celebrate the half-century, Egg Farmers of Canada has announced its commitment to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. To support egg producers is first and foremost to support the supply management system. This system helps them receive fair and stable income for their work so that they can in turn confidently reinvest in their farms. Our government has delivered on its commitment to help poultry and egg producers mitigate the impact of our trade agreements on Canadian poultry and egg producers. I thank all members for their long-standing support of our egg farmers in Canada and we wish them many more years of success.
