Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to thank the minister and his colleagues for coming here today and giving us an update on agriculture.
Minister, I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate you on 30 years of service on behalf of Canadians living in Prince Edward Island.
Agriculture is a dynamic industry that offers many opportunities but certain challenges, as well. Over the past few weeks, our committee has heard quite a lot of heart-wrenching testimony from farmers from all over Canada. They face hardship and challenges which obviously have an effect on their mental health.
Minister, could you talk to us about what the government is doing to help farmers deal with mental health issues?
