You mentioned leadership, and an important element of leadership is to take a broader view of things—over a large country, but especially over time.
Working with our colleagues in the west, we've clearly documented these wet and dry cycles that reoccur. I mentioned that we have 900 years of climate history. We're in the midst of a wet cycle; not only in the St. Lawrence lowlands but also in parts of Manitoba, this farmland has been under water now for close to a decade, but we know almost certainly that there's going to be a shift and there's going to be a long dry period. This water will not only disappear, but there will also be a shortage of water.
Whereas understandably producers are focused on the next growing season, government needs to have a longer viewpoint and recognize that there are these cycles and that there has to be leadership and programming to enable farmers to withstand periods in which there is too much water and periods in which there is not enough, and to capitalize on those times when the growing conditions are favourable.
