I can tell you a small story that I think really highlights the issue. I know a farmer in Saskatchewan who used to owned an 8,000-acre family farm. When this was announced through budget 2024, that individual still had five years in their succession planning. They didn't have a son or daughter or nephew or niece who could take over. Their succession plan was always to sell it to another farm. They still had five or seven years to go in their farm, but because of this quick announcement that was then implemented on June 25, they decided to quickstep their succession plan. They actually sold out their 8,000-acre family farm to a large corporate farm of 100,000 acres plus.
That's a small example of how this is accelerating the loss of family farms across the country.
