Thank you, Mr. Minister.
I would like to talk to you about another matter, namely tax deferral for some livestock producers in eligible regions following a drought, flood, etc. How many farmers have been able to defer taxes? Looking at the current income of Quebec farmers, almost all of them are in a precarious situation, like those in the rest of Canada. Very few farmers are turning a profit. When it comes down to it, what purpose does it serve to give a tax credit to someone who isn't making a profit?
One of my colleagues here today used to sit on the agriculture committee. How many farmers have been able to use the tax credit that was announced, that is, tax deferral? Climate change is putting some producers in a tough situation.
Once again, it appears that you are unable to give me an answer.
