Thank you.
One of the measures we talked about was a Canada emergency business account, one of the support measures that was used during the pandemic. A similar short-term loan would give farmers access to cash, and after three years, if they had repaid the loan on time, they would get a portion back.
Something like that would give farm businesses access to cash, and if they repaid the loan within a few years, they could be given a portion equivalent to 25% of the loan in credit. That would help businesses make investments. An investment in agriculture and agri-food is an investment in the pantries and fridges of Canadians.
