Mr. Speaker, the hon. member said that efforts have been made since they came to office. Having travelled to the west and being from the east, I can say that they are two different worlds. Lands in the west are much bigger and look very different to easterners, especially to someone from the Gaspé Peninsula. Sons cannot afford to buy their fathers' lands.
In my region of Matapédia, we do not even have our own slaughterhouse; producers have to send their animals 100 or 150 kilometres away. I would like to ask the hon. member what concrete measures, not only plans to review the situation, they have taken since they came to office to help farmers' sons who want to follow in their parents' footsteps. What are you doing to help us slaughter our animals in our own communities instead of 200 or 300 kilometres away?
