No one in agriculture wants to appear ungrateful for the help that has been offered to agriculture to date. Help is help, and we will take what we can get, but we certainly would appreciate more.
With regard to how we feel, well, I guess it was a Conservative government that changed the BRM suite of programs, so I probably need to say that out loud, too.
In general, as I look at the people on my screen, I implore them to take into consideration the fact that the future of our country depends on the future of our family farms. Every member of Parliament needs to really understand that. They need to understand that primary producers are price-takers. They have no opportunity to pass on things like the carbon tax or additional costs from having to protect everyone from COVID on their farms, or the loss of markets. All of these costs that farmers bear just erode a very thin bottom line.
