Madam Speaker, it is an honour to rise today to recognize the hard work and dedication of Canada's outstanding dairy farmers.
Dairy farmers from across the country are in Ottawa this week for their annual dairy policy conference.
Every day, on thousands of farms across Canada, including many in my riding of Prescott—Russell—Cumberland, farmers work tirelessly to provide Canadians with safe, nutritious and high-quality milk. This work is about a lot more than just feeding our families. Canada's dairy sector strengthens Canada, our economy, the vitality of our rural regions and our food sovereignty.
Today, I want to sincerely thank Canada's dairy farmers for their commitment to their farms, their communities and our wonderful country.
