Certainly.
Ms. Bennett talked about the benefits of environmental goods and services. I have in mind a particular pilot project on the benefits of governmental goods and services in the RCM of Brome-Missisquoi. The initiative brings together 40 or so farming companies, along 80km of river frontage, with more than 700 structures to control runoff. The initiative has remarkable scope.
I can testify to the fact that it has been a pleasure for us to support agricultural communities in their management projects. The producers are volunteers and respond well to financial incentives. So it is important to note that financial incentives are effective, as is technical support.
The policy framework called Growing Forward 2 provides a lot of support with applied research and farm-based demonstration networks. An agri-environmental consulting service network has been set up. In Quebec, agri-environmental advisory clubs are a major vehicle for the transference of knowledge and technical support. I feel that financial levers and technical support are both important.
