That's an excellent question.
A bit earlier, I talked about ongoing investments as opposed to one investment every five years. The new plan should demonstrate a genuine commitment to agriculture given the important role it plays in our economy. It should also recognize the value of agricultural work, learning and training.
To use an expression that may not be entirely appropriate for a parliamentary committee, I would say that we need to make farming sexy again.
We need to highlight the value of agriculture and show young people the sector's important place in society. We mustn't turn our backs on them. The young people investing in new operations are incredibly dynamic. They are full of ideas and plans. Our job is to make sure forward-looking policies are in place so that these farmers can continue to invest in agriculture.
