I'll just go for it.
There are two things. First, on the succession planning, one thing is you have to realize we're leading busy lives, and succession planning is a little taboo in every farming business. You're working with family, and it's touchy. But having somebody come in, whether it be federally or provincially, and just help us to work together, not do the bulk of the work but guide us in the right direction.... I know how my dad got the farm: it was a phone call in university saying they were putting the pipeline in, and if he wasn't coming, they were quitting dairy. That was the succession plan. So I was waiting for that call at college myself.
Another thing I'd like to note is in the recent economic crisis the Government of Canada put in a home renovation tax credit. I found the idea was great, and we could do the same thing for agriculture to encourage buying local. We need to get together with the Department of Education and put together a food sovereignty program. Consumers don't know where their food comes from, obviously, and there is a big market for retail, processing, commercialization, which are all jobs people can live off, but when you're graduating from high school you're either going into administration, plumbing, welding, or the basic jobs. If we could do something Canada-wide, something like the home renovation, which would be tax-related, so if I'm in P.E.I. and I saved all my bar codes from all the P.E.I. products, I might be eligible for $500 in tax rebates or something like that to encourage home agriculture and to see it does make a difference to support it.
