Madam Speaker, I thank my hon. colleague for his speech. I must admit that I missed part of it. Still, I was a bit surprised that I did not hear him talk about the measures in the budget for the agriculture and agri-food sector, given that I know that my hon. colleague represents a rural riding in Quebec that has a lot of farmers.
The budget includes $120 million to enhance business risk management programs, as well as an additional $75 million for the AgriMarketing program, which is crucial in helping us export Quebec and Canadian products around the world. There are also millions of dollars in investments for the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to promote free trade in general.
Why is my colleague going to vote against measures that are important for Canadian and Quebec farmers, including those in his riding?
