In my life outside of this, I farm beef in my riding of Peterborough. With my neighbours around me, I joke sometimes that all we need is a dairy farm, and then we could probably be closed off to the world and be okay.
There's such a massive surplus. My neighbours produce apples. They have an incredible surplus right now that they can't possibly harvest. There's also the transportation piece and the storage piece. They do donate so much food, so I love that you pointed out the tax credit that's available in Ontario for farmers who do donate food. Kawartha Food Share is located in my riding.
There's some work that needs to be done. For instance, if I had a whole cow that I could give to them, there are some issues with the expiry dates and things like that, things that don't happen when we send them to the abattoir and they come back, so we cannot currently donate beef.
With regard to your point, farmers want to do this, and ranchers want to do this. Our producers are some of the most giving people around, but there are some structural constraints to donation. Would you like to speak to what we could do to remove those barriers?
