As Ms. Bessette said earlier, some of the investments in the budget are partly a step in the right direction. However, I think more investment is needed, as is greater co-operation between government and the sector.
In my brief, you will notice I talk about how Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's website depicts agriculture to the public. Many farmers, many of our members and I, personally, feel the tone of the website is offensive and attests to a lack of co-operation.
That kind of thing needs to change. In addition, more co-operation and greater investments are necessary. That will go a long way towards making things better. I am hopeful, but I think it's going to take some time.
