Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for Glengarry—Prescott—Russell for his ongoing support for farmers.
Poultry and egg producers will be entitled to financial assistance that they can invest in their business. Under this $630-million program, our government will contribute up to 70%, or up to 80% in the case of projects put forward by producers 35 years of age or under. Another $61 million will be allocated to a market development program for turkey and chicken.
I want to thank all Canadian farmers, who have been so resilient throughout this pandemic.
