Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for his excellent question.
Canadian farmers want to do their fair share to protect the environment and we want to help them. That is why, on Monday in Quebec City, I announced $1 million in funding for a pilot project that will help farmers develop more effective environmental protection measures. For example, the financial incentives provided to farmers will be used to conserve and improve the quality of our water.
We are forging forward. We continue to help our farmers; we continue to help our regions; and we continue to work on maintaining a healthy environment.
