I wish to offer my apologies to the witnesses for having to leave earlier. I was hosting a briefing on a Bill and I was unable to be in two places at the one time. I have several questions but if they have been answered already, the Chair can inform me. I missed an hour of the meeting.
Page 92 of the Comptroller and Auditor General's report refers to how the EU abolished milk quotas in April 2015. The policy is influenced by growing demand for dairy products on the world market. Did the Department undertake any analysis of an increase in demand in anticipation of the abolition of milk quotas? What level of research was done by the Department?
