Mr. Lehoux, I agree that the vitality of the regions is directly related to the vitality of the agricultural industry. I believe that it is also linked to the idea of keeping the land populated. I imagine that if some regions lost their populations, there would be no more agriculture.
I also wanted to briefly mention what is going on with the stabilization insurance program in Quebec.
You are likely aware of the difficulties and of the negotiations underway between the UPA and the Government of Quebec. You are also likely aware that part of our taxes go to the federal government. I should know, and I think that we should pay our taxes to a single government. There is the AgriFlex program from the federal government, but it excludes income support.
With respect to stabilization insurance in Quebec, do you not think that including income support to the AgriFlex program would allow Quebec, and the other provinces that have stabilization programs—some could even create them if they do not have them now—to resolve this problem?
That is what we are hearing from the other provinces. I would like to know what you think.
