Madam Speaker, I thank the member for Beauce for his question. There were 18 reports, yes, and here is a little tip for those who want to run a successful campaign: They should read the committee reports. I think that, if they do, they are going to have a pretty good platform with smart, well-structured solutions. That is the end of my aside.
The 44% reflected producers who have to work outside, but there may be similar numbers in fruits and vegetables. I can say that because major producers in my riding were hit again this year and it is having dire consequence. I spoke earlier about risk management programs and how we manage risk. The people at the company I am talking about had a terrible summer in 2023. They filed an insurance claim, but it barely covered half of their losses.
When they took out insurance the following year, the premium had quadrupled. This year, however, they need to file a claim again because some waterways overflowed. That is what needs to be urgently reviewed. We have to start now, because the traditional concept of risk management no longer works.
