"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"5523578\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Madam Speaker, I am a member of Parliament from Quebec, where supply management is not only extremely important, but is also entrenched in our vision of agri-food development.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5523579\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Our government's position is very clear: we firmly believe in supply management, and we are absolutely committed to it. Unfortunately, there is an ongoing misconception that Canada overprotects farmers with supply management, but I disagree. As we have heard many times, this system was designed so that the government would not have to subsidize dairy, egg or poultry producers. This system has served Canada well, and some countries are asking if they can adopt it. Personally, I am very supportive of maintaining supply management. All negotiations require concessions, but this government will absolutely support farmers.</p>",

Malheureusement, il y a un probl\u00e8me r\u00e9current, c'est-\u00e0-dire qu'on juge que le Canada surprot\u00e8ge les agriculteurs avec la gestion de l'offre, mais je n'y crois pas. On a entendu dire \u00e0 plusieurs reprises que ce syst\u00e8me permettait pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment d'\u00e9viter que le gouvernement subventionne les agriculteurs et les producteurs de lait, d'oeufs ou de volaille. Ce syst\u00e8me a tr\u00e8s bien fonctionn\u00e9 pour le Canada, et certains pays nous demandent m\u00eame de l'exporter chez eux. Personnellement, je suis tr\u00e8s favorable au maintien de la gestion de l'offre. Dans toute n\u00e9gociation, il faut faire des concessions, mais il est absolument certain que le gouvernement appuiera les agriculteurs.</p>"
