Yes.
One thing I've found in the rural parts of my riding is that people are very practical. They have learned to be practical. They have to be practical. If we show them a practical solution that saves money, reduces heating costs, reduces transportation costs and improves yields on the farm, then they will become converts very quickly.
One of the things that also disproportionately affect rural Canada is the impacts of climate change. In eastern Ontario—including in my riding—and also in other parts of the country, we had drought conditions. That affected crops. We've had extreme weather. Wildfires tend to affect rural parts of the country more severely.
Can you update us on some of the steps that are being taken to help build resilience in the face of some of these risks?
