Madam Speaker, a lot of the debate today was based on climate change and its impact on agriculture. In 2024, the Conservative Party voted to reject a call to actually recognize climate change in Canada.
In Ontario, 70,000 people work within the agriculture sector. It is a $60-billion sector. It is important to make sure we preserve and keep the integrity of the land and the weather conditions in order for farmers to be successful.
Could the member talk about the importance of the recognition of climate change and its impact on the agricultural sector in Ontario and the rest of Canada?
