Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank everyone for being here today. We know how serious this issue has become. It's a concern at home, in the constituency of Shefford.
Mr. d'Amours, you live in an area next to my constituency. Thank you for being here today.
My first question is for Mr. Caron.
You're the son and grandson of a farmer. We haven't conducted a study on the subject, but perhaps studies have been conducted in the past. What has changed? Did you witness any distress that your grandfather, grandparents or father may have experienced? What has evolved? Are things better or worse? What changes have brought us to where we are today? Give us some insight.
