However, when he answers in this way, when he says they will defend supply management but there are other sectors as well, is he not setting the stage to some extent to protect the other sectors? The government might just be forced to make a few concessions in the area of supply management. He says it is a sector where farmers can earn their costs of production plus a bit of a profit. That is supply management. However, it seems to me that they need to state this much more clearly and say frankly that everything was on the table at the beginning of the negotiations, but now the Europeans need to understand that we do not want supply management touched. Why wait for the very end of the negotiations if they have no intention of making concessions in this area?</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"2256709\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Monsieur le pr\u00e9sident, en r\u00e9ponse \u00e0 la question du <a data-HoCid=\"128846\" href=\"/politicians/gerald-keddy/\" title=\"Gerald Keddy\">secr\u00e9taire parlementaire</a>, c'est s\u00fbr qu'on comprend tr\u00e8s bien qu'il y a d'autres secteurs que la gestion de l'offre en agriculture. Cependant, quand il me r\u00e9pond de cette fa\u00e7on, quand il dit qu'on va d\u00e9fendre la gestion de l'offre mais qu'il y a aussi d'autres secteurs, n'est-ce pas comme de mettre la table en quelque part pour d\u00e9fendre les autres secteurs? On sera peut-\u00eatre \u00eatre oblig\u00e9 de laisser du lest un peu sur la gestion de l'offre. Il dit que c'est un secteur o\u00f9 les agriculteurs peuvent retirer un profit qui est un peu au-del\u00e0 de leurs co\u00fbts de production. Cela s'appelle la gestion de l'offre. Cependant, il me semble qu'on doit l'affirmer beaucoup plus clairement que cela et dire franchement qu'au d\u00e9but de la n\u00e9gociation, tout \u00e9tait sur la table, et que maintenant, on voudrait bien que les Europ\u00e9ens comprennent que la gestion de l'offre est un secteur qu'on ne veut pas toucher. Pourquoi attendre \u00e0 la toute fin des n\u00e9gociations si on n'a pas cette intention?</p>"
