Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the member for Selkirk—Interlake for the fine and steadfast work he has done for agriculture over the last two years.
Recently I was very pleased to announce the investment of $1 million to create a new sectoral council for the agriculture industry. This council will play a vital role in finding innovative solutions to help the human resources situation affecting agriculture today.
This is good news for Canadian farmers and it is good news for Canada.
