I'm reading through pieces of this and I'm learning that farmers are environmental activists. I used to be a mediator before I became an MP, so this was my mediator hat saying, “That's your position, and that's your position; now let's look at interspace and what we can do.” Do both of you see a way that farmers and conservationists can work together to ultimately achieve a goal of protecting all of the land? Ideally we don't want to see further urban jungles. We want it to be productive farmland or we want it to be forests or whatever, protected, natural land.
The question is for both of you, Mr. Whittamore and Ms. Schultz. Do you see it as a possibility to move forward and work together to achieve this?
