Mr. Speaker, I congratulate the member on his election to this House.
I would like to share with the member that in my riding we also have a strong farming community. In the communities of Black Creek and Merville we have many long-term family farms that have been a very important base to our community in the riding and its generality. Our communities are accessed only by ferry. Therefore, food security, as members can imagine, is a huge issue.
In the Speech from the Throne, there was nothing said about agriculture. I wonder how the member feels about this hole in the speech.
