I'll talk on that one first.
In your document, you talked about some of the answers being international, and I agree wholeheartedly with that. Already a lot of rights by our government to control policy within this country have been signed away. The debate is how many more are we going to do?
I think we might have to go back to create some alliances with other like-minded countries that are experiencing these same problems. If the EU is losing that many farmers, they might be able to see the wisdom of revamping and backtracking on some of the agreements that have been signed. Some drastic action has to take place or this big ship is not going to get turned around. You have to decide how important food security is here in Canada.
I think you'd be very surprised by how many other countries you could get to sign on with you and say forget about going forward. We need to take about four steps back and rethink some of the rights we've already signed away. Let's find a way to make farmers a higher priority. Let's find a way to make policy within our own country by our government. If there is enough sincerity within the government to actually do it, I think we will all have the legal right to go forward.
That's my thought.
