I’m sorry, Minister, but I'd like to speak with you. I'd like to speak with the man holding the position of minister.
Canada is currently experiencing a significant reduction in the number of farmers. Your role as minister is to speak to all your officials to find solutions to help secure the future of agriculture. We must ensure we have enough people who want to pursue farming.
What actions will you take?
You’re in a position of privilege that comes with responsibility to make sure we have enough farmers in Canada to engage in farming. Foreign workers will not always be there to do the farming. If that were the case, we would need partnerships with foreigners. However, we need Canadian farmers.
Is the Department of Agriculture and Agri-food seeing the warning signs of what the next 15 years will look like?
