I live in southwestern Ontario, which has a rich diversity of access to food, but I suspect that most of my food is also not drawn locally, because of the diversity, which came up...and to have that access. I think we all want to strengthen our local systems. I'll get to the “missing middle” in a second. I really liked that language.
What's your recommendation? Agriculture is a shared jurisdiction between the federal government and the provincial governments. How do we get at that? How do we get at encouraging the processing when it becomes a shared jurisdiction? Where does the responsibility lie?
