There is something I fail to understand. In Quebec, we have set up a system to help the new generation, the young farmers, and so on. What really bothers me, in committee, is when people talk about implementing a national program for agriculture. I am against doing that because we, in Quebec, have absolutely no intention of supporting initiatives that will disadvantage Quebec farmers.
I think that, for once, Mr. Lemieux is right. I think that provincial governments need to step up to the plate and help their farmers because farmers are the ones who feed the world population. Our governments are having a hard time understanding the importance of the work farmers do.
What do you think about the Conservatives constantly saying that we must think of our “taxpayers”?
Do you pay your taxes?
