House Hansard - 276

44th Parl. 1st Sess.

Context: House Hansard - 276 - Feb/6/24
Mr. Yves Perron (Berthier—Maskinongé, BQ)
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the presence of dairy farmers from across Canada, and especially those from Quebec. They are on the Hill for the day to attend meetings with parliamentarians. Our entrepreneurs are proud to offer the public their product at a stable and reasonable price that allows them to earn a decent living from their trade. That is why they are asking parliamentarians to support Bill C-282 to ensure the sustainability of supply management, and they hope the Senate will pass the legislation quickly. Defending this system will help guarantee our national food security while protecting our model of regional agriculture on a human scale. This predictability allows farmers to invest in research and development, thereby constantly improving their productivity, the quality of their products and their environmental footprint. I thank dairy farmers for getting up every morning to supply us with high-quality milk. We always enjoy their delicious products.
