Thank you, Chair.
Just to my colleague's point about climate change, farming being what it is and as challenging as it is, I think most of us have farmers in our riding, and we know that it determines the cost and availability of food for sure.
This amendment, however, is actually not prohibiting or hurting farmers in any way. In fact, it's probably helping them to do their job better and to make food more affordable, which is the basis of this bill: to allow children to have access to food in our cost of living crisis, as my colleague Ms. Gray has said.
Given the dire circumstances and the Food Banks Canada report card—we've never seen these numbers, ever, in history—I think this would be a very fair amendment. Perhaps our colleagues across the way would be open to something, but this is a very important amendment to help make food more affordable. I'm not sure why we're not getting support from the other side.
