First, we heard a great deal about income inequality during the June food summit, and I think that should be taken very seriously. A significant part of the problem with access to food in Canada is really about income. Many of the other costs in people's lives are inflexible, so they have to be flexible with their food budget and that is one of the big challenges for Canadians. I hope that the comments that came from Employment and Social Development and other ministries, especially Indigenous Affairs, during the June summit will be taken very seriously.
Another aspect is to think about rural community development in a more holistic way, and how small-scale agriculture and food enterprises can be integrated into community development to benefit particularly rural communities in Canada and help them realize that access to the right to food.
