The system that was put in place by Canada for making milk available for the production of dairy products for export involved the Canadian Dairy Commission and the provincial marketing boards in making milk available to the processors, negotiating the price, and so on. A couple of these categories, which are called special classes 5(d) and 5(e), essentially contained conditions as to what that milk could be used for. It had to be used to make dairy products for export only. There are a number of other classes under which milk can be made available for other uses domestically. Those were not at issue before the WTO. It was simply these special classes for exports. Also, the milk is made available at a price that's below the domestic price.
