Dealing with the first question about NAFTA, certainly the data demonstrates that all of our agricultural exports are climbing and continue to do so, and that has not benefited farmers. The net realized income for farmers has not improved, so that should tell us something.
If we put what's happening in Canada in the much larger context of what's happening to farmers internationally, the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the FAO have done studies on what has happened since 1994 when the agreement on agriculture was put in place. They've noted that in numerous countries there is an increased concentration of land ownership. Larger producers are owning larger pieces of land. There is increased impoverishment of farmers. Combined with that, there's increased corporate concentration in the food systems everywhere, and tied to that is the diminishing power of farmers in the marketplace.
We have always thought of ourselves as being concerned about social justice here in Canada and elsewhere, but we should be thinking very carefully about what's going on here, not only with our farmers but internationally. Political decisions we are making are allowing this to happen.
