Thank you.
Thank you, Canadian Young Farmers' Forum, for being here.
I would like to inform the committee that this afternoon in the House of Commons we are going to be debating a great bill that concerns agriculture. It is a bill from my colleague Guy Caron. It would help the transfer of family farms. It would amend the Income Tax Act. It's a bill that I think would really help Canadian farmers and would help young farmers get access to farms, because there is an inequity right now. Maybe some of us will be speaking to this bill. I'm sure you are aware of this bill and will be following the debate.
Could you explain to the committee the importance of supporting young farmers? It's clear everybody agrees that we need to support young farmers by reducing this inequity. It's not just farms; it also includes fishing operations. Could you explain the importance of making legislative changes to the Income Tax Act to reduce this inequity?
