Ms. Smith, you said that Quebec has programs. Yes, Quebec does have programs to help farmers. It is a social choice.
I met with your Minister of Agriculture yesterday, and the message was passed on. If we have that in Quebec, you can also have it here in the Maritimes. It is just a political choice. I told him that support was necessary if he wanted agriculture to survive here.
You are the last group we are meeting with. I am not a farmer like half of the people present here. Three years ago, I was not a member of the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food, which you met with. Could you tell me whether something has changed or not? Has anything been done over the last three years? Do not be shy.
