Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Ms. Bercier, first of all, thank you for your testimony. We have many very committed and passionate witnesses here this morning, and you're one of them.
We're talking about food security and affordability and many issues that obviously have an impact on your production. What you do is key to food security, but the government is determined to build a high-speed rail line that threatens to devastate some of the best farmland in Quebec and Ontario—including yours, potentially.
Do you think Alto truly understands the realities of farming—your machinery, the importance of drainage and the need to have access to every part of your land, be it for grain or hay, or for feeding livestock and other purposes?
How do you feel about the fact that the threat of expropriation hangs over a business like yours, your farm and the neighbouring farms?
