Mr. Speaker, the member said there was nothing in the throne speech about agriculture, but the throne speech and the election platform include a commitment to create a Canadian water agency. I would suspect that a great focus of that agency will be on water and agriculture. We know that water is the lifeblood of agriculture, so if we can solve irrigation challenges, we can give a boost to agriculture.
Does the member not agree that this is one element of a strategy for addressing agricultural concerns?
