Thanks, Minister. I know the answer to the question. The answer is that this is going to stay. You talk about the EU, but this isn't impossible. Your government exempted tariffs on other commodities like airplane parts and cobalt from Russia.
For some reason, your government is picking winners and losers and, once again, when it comes to decisions by your government, farmers are losing. You could have asked for that tariff on fertilizer to be removed, as you have exempted other commodities like cobalt and airplane parts.
Going on the same theme, you talk about food security. Ontario is losing about 320 acres of farmland every year, the equivalent of about nine farm families every week, as a result of development, urbanization and those types of things. We now know that the Alto high-speed rail will impact about 500 farms just between Montreal and Ottawa.
Do you know how many farms will be impacted by this high-speed rail for the entire length of the project?
