Mr. Speaker, once again, I thank my colleague for an excellent speech. This is a good agreement, but the federal government negotiated it without consulting the provinces. Parliament is somewhat superfluous in this matter. As everyone knows, these agreements are temporarily in effect while we vote on implementing them. We are obviously sovereignists, and there are a lot of sovereignists in Quebec. These people are told that if Quebec became a country, it would have to negotiate everything. It would have to negotiate free trade agreements. However, today we have proof that agreements can be negotiated, modified and renegotiated. Does my colleague think that an independent Quebec could have negotiated a free trade agreement with Ukraine on its own? I would also like to know if she thinks that Ukraine would have turned its back on us or if it would have wanted to trade with Quebec.

Madam Speaker, the tragedy here is that farmers feel like they are begging for their own money. CUSMA has been signed, and that free trade agreement is being enforced. International goods have already started coming in. When the agreement was being negotiated, the government was in a rush and wanted it all to be resolved immediately. However, when it comes time to compensate farmers, it is always next year, it is always later. Our farmers would have rather kept their supply-managed market. Now, farmers are not asking how much the cheque will be for; they are asking when the cheque will be in the mail.
