Thanks to both of you for being here and testifying.
As the member mentioned, I'm not on this committee, but it's a very interesting topic that we're talking about.
I've been reading this article from the Huffington Post. I will quote part of the article:
If you've idealized farming as an easy occupation, it's not. Farming is characterized by high stress. You live your profession 24/7.
Financial pressures, livestock disease, poor harvest, climate change...can devastate farmers.
We've heard a lot of testimony from previous witnesses. Would you agree with this article that this is a field where we know there are stressors and pressures on farmers, but we are not tackling the issue directly? Are we addressing only the symptoms?
