Madam Chair, I want to talk about a farmer named Henry Vos. He used to farm around Fairview. He is retired now. He lives on Shaftesbury Trail. During the wildfires in Alberta, he emailed me to say to please thank the farmers who are taking time out from seeding to plough firebreaks around their neighbours' houses. Canadian farmers know the cost of climate change, and they know we have to do something about it.
