Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Bissonnette, the key issue is land value. We've already passed the tipping point. It's now impossible for the next generation to acquire land and hope to make it profitable one day, given the high purchase price. Is there a way to make transactions based on the agronomic value of the land?
I have an idea. I don't know whether it's realistic, since it may require a great deal of public funding. A farmer could agree to sell their land to a person in the next generation based on the land's agronomic value. This would take the land out of the vicious circle of land speculation. Could this be a viable option? The person who agrees to sell their land would need some form of compensation. Maybe there could be a pension fund for farmers, or something of that nature. What are your thoughts on this?
