Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Dear guests, thank you for being here today and for your testimony. We appreciate it. We hope that you and your family continue to be safe during this pandemic.
My first questions are for Ms. Bissonnette and Mr. Groleau.
We talk about the importance of getting this bill passed and ending the existing penalties for family farm transfers. As you so rightly said, it was Guy Caron, a former NDP MP, who introduced the first draft of this bill.
If you could see the next 15 years in a crystal ball, what would the situation look like in every community in Quebec and Canada, with respect to family farm transfers, if the bill were passed? Conversely, what would it look like if the bill were not passed?
Do you want to answer first, Ms. Bissonnette?
