Mr. Speaker, in the spring of 2020, the rate of livestock slaughter slowed considerably.
This has forced producers to keep their animals longer and has resulted in significant additional costs for them. Our government is committed to supporting the agricultural industry by helping to maintain and adapt financial tools for agricultural risk management to cope with climate change and market conditions.
Can the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food tell us about the measures that have been implemented in Quebec in that regard?
