When you buy the farm from a stranger, you often have to invest 100% of its market value. In the dairy industry, for example, young people who enter the sector often succeed more than those who have been there for a number of years. Young people are excellent producers. In all types of production, they are dynamic and manage to make their production profitable. On the other hand, they are unable to repay 100% of the value of the farm.
A fund could be created so that the downpayment, which represents about 30% or 40%, is not payable in the first 10 years of the life of the business, for example. The young person would really be able to take off and, at the end of the tenth year, start to repay the downpayment. That's an idea we find interesting. However, it doesn't solve the problem of the speculation that's carried on around the major cities. It also happens in Quebec.
Whatever the case may be, by enabling young people to be on an equal footing with the producers around them, we will definitely enable them to invest and devote themselves to their farm.
