I am not very familiar with the AgriFlex program itself, but I believe that there should be a greater contribution from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.
AgriFlex deals with productions that are not subject to quotas, but what about the rest, all the other productions that are managed and where there are no investments?
My speech this morning was very much focused on the next generation, because if there are no new farmers, the regions will start shutting down one after the other, and the processing industry will gradually disappear as well. When there are no more businesses to produce, there will be no more processing.
I have not carefully examined what, exactly, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada could do. However, I believe that there should be more assistance. Should this assistance not be part of a national agriculture policy that is very precise and structured?
I think that is what we should look at, a Canadian agriculture policy.
