Hon. Scott Tannas: Honourable senators, I, Senator Scott Tannas, note for the record that I believe I have a private interest that might be affected by Bill C-282, An Act to amend the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Act (supply management), which is currently before the Senate.

The general nature of the interest is that I am a director and Chair of the Board of Foothills Creamery, a maker of butter and fine ice cream, a private corporation that manufactures dairy food products for sales outlets throughout Canada. This corporation is owned by the Western Investment Company of Canada, of which I am President, Chief Executive Officer and a significant shareholder.

Hon. Mohamed-Iqbal Ravalia moved the adoption of the report.

(On motion of Senator Housakos, debate adjourned.)
