Agriculture committee  I'm well, Patrick. How are you?

May 8th, 2020Committee meeting

Mary Robinson

Agriculture committee  It's good to see you.

May 8th, 2020Committee meeting

Mary Robinson

Finance committee  Thank you for the question, Mr. Poilievre. Carbon tax implications on farm are just simply whittling away our bottom line. We are a price-taking part of the economy. We don't have any opportunity to get paid more or pass the costs on that we face. APAS has done some wonderful nu

Finance committee  I don't think we have a shortage of capacity to do that. I talked to Todd Lewis the other day, and he assured me that on his farm alone, he has enough flour to feed P.E.I. for at least two years. Wayne, we'll be in cinnamon rolls for another two years anyhow. Certainly this sh

Mary Robinson

Finance committee  Sorry. You cut out there. I thought it was my Internet going.

April 17th, 2020Committee meeting

Mary Robinson

Finance committee  Thank you so much for this question, Mr. Fraser. You will have received from the clerk our emergency preparedness document. I think on page 3 of that document we outline some measures that we suggest be taken in regard to the recruitment of agri-food workers to address this labo

Finance committee  It's 200,000.

April 17th, 2020Committee meeting

Mary Robinson

Finance committee  In our request, we would go beyond having a pause. With regard to the carbon tax on farms, if you have a look at the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, APAS—the president is Todd Lewis—you'll see they've done some fantastic number-crunching. They came out with nu

Mary Robinson

Finance committee  Can I add something? I just want to point out that, as you say, you're a city kid and I'm a country kid, and I think what a lot of people don't understand about agriculture is that it's a lot like the stock market, in that when you go to buy or sell something on the stock market,

April 17th, 2020Committee meeting

Mary Robinson

Finance committee  I haven't heard specifically on credit unions, but Scott may have. We have heard for sure that in Quebec in particular—and Martin spoke to this—because of their corporate structure within those farms, they're unable to tap into that money. They don't have the employment figure,

Mary Robinson

Finance committee  Elizabeth, you've delved into an area where I'm going to ask Scott Ross if he can help me. I'm not that well versed on the Canada summer jobs program. I'm wondering if Scott might be able to help me out.

April 17th, 2020Committee meeting

Mary Robinson

Finance committee  I apologize. I couldn't hear the question because I had the interpreter, as well as Mr. Julian, speaking at the same volume. Is there any way I could have the interpreter repeat the question for me?

April 17th, 2020Committee meeting

Mary Robinson

Finance committee  Because of our seasons, the urgency is dire. The AgriInvest tool is an easy way to quickly get money out there, and then to have an announcement that AgriStability has been brought up to meet our requests would give producers the confidence that AgriStability will be there for th

April 17th, 2020Committee meeting

Mary Robinson

Finance committee  Thank you, Wayne. I'd like to build on what Martin has shared with us. The AgriInvest stimulus we've asked for would be 5%, based on allowable net sales from 2018. The reason for our suggestion is that it's a very simple mechanism that would give a quick injection of cash to pro
