We need to look after farms in Canada on a regional basis. In five years' time, we will see how the programs are working. Quebec has programs. We are even a little bit jealous of Quebec because we would like to have something similar. Our provinces and the Government of Canada are not flexible enough to implement these programs. We need to have agriculture in all communities and in all provinces of the country. We must not, as was the case with the last programs, focus on the cost of transporting grain and subsidies to get the grain here. That really put us at a disadvantage compared to our fellow farmers in Ontario or in the West.
If we continue in this direction, Ontario and particularly the West will continue to benefit more from the situation than we are, and will be able to export a lot more. There will be too much food, too much meat on the market. Is this beneficial for a country? It is a good thing to have an adequate supply of food, but in my opinion, it is more important to ensure that we have food in all provinces. This is part of the economy and it is very important. We must not forget this fact. The government is too concerned about the need to sell and produce a lot, even if it means finding food elsewhere. In my opinion, it is more important to have agriculture here.
