Thank you. I want to move to my second line of questioning now, which is about corporate consolidation.
The ownership and control of Canada's food-producing land is becoming more concentrated. This has been a trend that's been growing over many years. According to a new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, in Saskatchewan, 8% of farms operate and control 38% of the farmland. In Alberta, 6% of farms operate 40% of the farmland. In Manitoba, 4% of farms operate and control 24% of the farmland.
You mentioned family farms in your opening remarks, and the push for more profitability and how we have some of the lowest prices in the world.
I'm wondering whether this consolidation is also creating problems when we see that there's also a decline of about 70% in terms of young and new farmers entering agriculture. There are some statistics on this that I've read recently.
I would like to hear whether you think—
