Some of the sentiment that I've heard from our members is about more than just agricultural policy. We've seen this throughout the country. As I mentioned, there's a rural-urban divide. There's a feeling that there are those who, perhaps through no fault of their own as they represent individuals in areas that are more urban, don't necessarily have an understanding of the realities of rural lifestyles and agricultural operations. It is frustrating, for sure, that many seem to feel that way, and I don't personally believe there is ill intent. However, I think it's just a reality that needs to be talked about more and more.
When we meet with members from urban areas, something we try to frame for them is how agriculture impacts them. Agriculture actually creates one in eight or one in seven jobs in Canada, regardless of where you are. If you look in Manitoba, down in St. Boniface, there's what we call “bacon corner”, where Maple Leaf has 3,000 jobs at a pork processing plant. We're the bacon capital of the world, essentially. That's an urban area, so agriculture creates jobs and impacts members everywhere in Canada.
