Madam Speaker, I actually have a lot of respect for Canadians. I respect them so much that I am here fighting on behalf of my constituents of Lambton—Kent—Middlesex and every single farmer across this country who has seen the government's bad policies and bad regulations, a lot of times without consultation, driving up their costs of production. In fact, they are driving some farms out of business. That is a problem for Canadians.
Farm families tell me that they cannot afford to keep farming and that next generations cannot afford to take over the family farm, thanks to another policy of the government and its capital gains tax increase. The root cause of these problems in Canada is the NDP-Liberal government, which does not respect our farmers or agriculture sector and refuses to stand up for family farms.
