Madam Speaker, the government policies are driving farmers to the breaking point right now. Fertilizer has increased by 80%, machine fuel by 78.5%, machinery costs by 20%, pesticides by 7%, feed by 29% and shelter, including barns and sheds, by 13%. That is all because of the NDP-Liberal government's policies.
Farmers are the best stewards of our land and the ones who make our bread and butter from it. Conservatives care about the land. If we do not take care of our land and are not stewards of it, we will not have a livelihood.
Conservatives will always stand up for farmers, the benefit of the agriculture sector and what is best for farmers.
