Yes. It's always interesting. I come from British Columbia, where we're all familiar with our provincial agricultural land reserve. Just across the street from where I live, in fact, it's preserved to ensure this. I was just curious. We all acknowledge it's an important one, so if there are any roles that the feds can play....
I want to take something that you also talked about, farm debt and how it's been growing since the 1990s. It calls into question the sustainability of many Canadian farms.
Maybe I'll turn the question to you, Mr. McCann, because you were talking about the fact that we need productivity growth in Canada to address many of these problems. Could you maybe talk a little bit about how the growing farm debt ties into that conversation and how we as a committee need to address that if we're going to tackle the issue of growing our agricultural productivity? How do we do that when so many farms are carrying so much debt, and it has been growing at a pretty significant pace since the 1990s?
