Lianne Rood Conservative Lambton—Kent—Middlesex, ON

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you, Senator Black, for being here today.

Thank you, Mr. Nater, for being here today.

I also agree with you that it's important that we share Canadian culture.

I have to respectfully disagree with Mr. Nater as well. I'm sorry; Lambton—Kent—Middlesex has some amazing farmers. I don't quite get you with dairy and chicken, but we're close with the number of farms we have.

I want to say thank you for bringing this bill forward. I know Ms. Stewart's family is very supportive of it. They have been champions of this day as well. I look forward to seeing this bill pass and having a national day to celebrate Canadian food and the people who produce it.

Thank you.
