Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question. I also appreciate the work that he does.
He spoke about how people are fed up, which is only natural. Things are difficult for everyone, and these reactions are understandable.
My colleague asked me to talk about bold action, so I would like to talk about one of the key measures among those I spoke about earlier, which is support for environmental measures.
The government should not hold back from supporting farmers. Everyone in the House knows that farmers south of the border get twice as much funding, often through direct subsidies. The ratio is even bigger when we compare ourselves with Europe. People here work very hard and are subject to significant restrictions. They need our help.
The government should compensate them for taking tangible environmental actions, such as renovating a building or restoring riparian zones that are no longer being farmed. There needs to be some economic value, and it needs to be tangible to encourage people to keep taking action.
