Yes, I worry that this could change the fundamental nature of agriculture production in Canada and in the United States and around the world, really. It will go from being for food and feed production to being for more biofuel production.
I think it's certainly going to exasperate the differences in incomes in agriculture. Those who own farmland will gain significantly from this. Those who are renters, tenants, or labourers--the labour resource--will get very little out of this.
There is likely to be a big impact on the livestock sector. As I mentioned in my comments, I'm quite worried about the pig industy in Manitoba and whether we can even retain that. Across the prairies, really, we're seeing a lot of pressure on it now and on the cattle industry across the west, but particularly in southern Alberta. I don't know. We have not done studies on this. We don't know what's going to happen, but I fear that it could have lasting impacts on that sector as well.
