Thanks, Mr. Chair.
My first question is to Mr. Mazier. We've heard this idea of support for family farm transfers in our pre-budget consultations already. Any type of national change might have unintended consequences. I fully support this idea of ensuring that future generations can take over the farming business. Where I'm from, in the GTA, the biggest problem we face with the loosening of regulations around farms and farming is that younger generations are not interested in farming, and it's not viable for them. The family might transfer the property, but then they sell it to a land developer for millions and millions of dollars because in the GTA the housing market is absolutely huge, and there's a land shortage.
In trying to deal with the objectives that you and others have raised, how do we do that while ensuring that the land being transferred is truly used to keep farming going versus it being a tax break to then sell it or no longer farm it, whether it's in the GTA or in other provinces that might have other needs or barriers for continued farming?
