Mr. Speaker, on this very sad day and with a heavy heart, I have the duty to table, in both official languages, the 4th report of the Standing Committee on Agriculture and Agri-Food on the farm income crisis.
The committee studied the issue of farm income as required by its order of reference, heard from a number of farm groups across the country and came up with a number of recommendations contained in the report. The committee is also requesting a comprehensive response from the government pursuant to Standing Order 109.
I take this opportunity to thank committee members from all sides for their work as well as the committee's staff for a job well done.
