Thank you.

Also vital to food security is, of course, efficient access to good farmland. Farm groups are asking for more meaningful consultation, yet the government is saying that they have already been consulted. Why do they keep coming to us? Why have UPA, the OFA, the NFU, the CFFO and the UCFO penned a letter asking for a pause on the Alto project?

See context to find out what was said next.
