Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witnesses for participating in this important study.
Again, we're talking about the bill tabled by my colleague, Guy Caron. The bill was important and would have made it easier to transfer family farms. I want to point out that the Liberal members on the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food supported this bill. However, sadly, it didn't even reach the stage of an extensive study in committee.
I now want to address a current topic. We've been talking a great deal these days about the Pangea company, whose business model consists of buying farmland and working in partnership with producers to share assets and expand production. Pangea's goal is to create joint ventures, of which 51% of the shares would be issued to farmers and 49% to Pangea.
What do you think of Pangea's business model? Is the model positive, or does it undermine the transfer of farmland?
