“I disagree with the member. Our government values farmers, and we are working with the agriculture industry during these tough times. I will share the member's ideas with the minister of agriculture.”
“Mr. Speaker, I would respectfully disagree with my colleague. Not only does this government value agriculture and the incredible role that farmers play and that other people involved in the agricultural sector play across the country, but we have continued to engage with the industry to ensure that we best respond to the needs that it faces, given the very challenging circumstances that we face right now in the world. We will continue to do that, and I will undertake to work with that member and to work with my colleagues, the Minister of Agriculture and his parliamentary secretary, to make sure that the member’s views are considered in the larger lens of our agricultural policy.”
