Agriculture committee  On the selling to the public or the concept of farming, I think Justin hit it very well in saying that we as an industry and government have to educate the Canadian consumer as to where our food supply comes from, our food sovereignty of this country. Any country that depends on an outside source to feed its country is really putting itself at risk.

Agriculture committee  I'd just like to emphasize, again, that I think the next APF has to really target and look after the next generation of farmers. It has to help the next generation of producers take over the land. Maybe we need a national young farmers program with an interest buy-down or with incentives to get in, because if we don't have that encouragement and the programs in place, and we miss this next generation--we've already missed one--there will be no farming in Canada.
