The system continues to work as it is designed to work. The import pillar provides predictability to Canadian planners and the Canadian Dairy Commission with respect to what the requirements for Canadian production will be to meet the needs of Canadian consumers, and with respect to dairy and other supply-managed products, because the volume of imports is finite, fixed and known, and therefore predictable for planning purposes. On that basis, I consider the integrity of the system to be intact.
