Mr. Speaker, I have the honour of recognizing the work of Ms. France Demers, from Magog. She was named woman farmer of the year by the Fédération des agricultrices du Québec. Her farm, Ferme Magolait, is a large dairy farm in my riding of Brome—Missisquoi.
Ms. Demers, who has four children, has become an expert in work-life balance over the years. Despite having a very busy schedule, the whole family is involved in various activities. Family members participate in several regional competitions in the Eastern Townships.
Through her dedication and hard work, Ms. Demers has become a role model for other Canadian farmers.
It is precisely to help businesses like Farm Magolait that the government should establish as soon as possible a national strategy to promote local food production.
I call on the House to support this bill on local foods.
