I ask the minister if he would not stand up to the Americans and tell them we are not prepared to cave in to their position on ice cream and yogurt which was essentially to lower those tariffs to zero immediately (1800) The minister may not be aware of a legal decision that has come forward to us from the dairy farmers of Canada that in fact supports the Canadian position that we can put a tariff on ice cream and yogurt.

The government is fully justified in taking immediate action on these imports since, first, the history of trade negotiations clearly indicates that such products would be covered by 0404.9; second, the U.S. has already challenged the coverage of these tariff lines and lost at the NAFTA panel; third, government policy is to support supply management and dairy products, which are being undermined by these imports; fourth, imports of these products are strictly designed to circumvent Canada's border measures in an effort to find lower-cost alternatives to domestic supplies of butter fat, even though ice cream products themselves are not ...[+++] competing with imports; fifth, the cost of butter fat in Canada has not increased since prior to the imports of these blends; and last, consumers did not benefit from the imports of lower-cost butter fat as evidenced by the fact that the consumer price index for ice cream has increased by 4.3% since January 1995, even though imports of butter oil/sugar blends have increased by 488% during this period. Domestic butter fat costs did not change.
