In my opinion, one of the biggest policy changes we could do is implement a system where farmers are paid not only for the physical product they produce but for all the other goods and services we provide. That would benefit not only us but all other Canadians at the same time.
We're a country with high costs of production, and that's probably not going to change. We need to find a way to be able to keep people on the landscape and give value to their production practices, whether that be just providing beautiful landscape for scenery when you drive by or providing clean water or native habitat. We need some kind of ecological goods and services program, and that program needs to be designed to help us become more profitable and not just designed to help or improve the environment.
I think that would be my suggestion.
