Mr. Speaker, more that ever, people in my riding of Alfred-Pellan and across Canada appreciate the excellent work our farmers are doing to feed our community. From vegetable farms to plant farms, to dairy farms, to livestock farms, the people of Laval have access to fresh products right in their backyard.
This summer make it a point to encourage the families behind our milk and cheese, our meat and fruits, our vegetables and produce. Make sure the kids know that tomatoes and strawberries do not come from shelves. They should visit the farms and buy local.
Now that the season has begun, visit one of our farms and buy local, instead of lining up at the grocery store. This is one way to thank our hardworking farmers and stimulate the economy.
Let us do our part and support the businesses in Alfred-Pellan that are reinventing themselves. We need each other. Let us stay close.
