Agriculture and Agri-Food
In question period on agriculture, Conservative MP Dave Epp asked why the government is proceeding with the $90-billion Alto rail project, saying it affects more than 5,500 farms and cuts up valuable farmland at a time when farmers say food security depends on protecting farmland. Liberal minister Steven MacKinnon replied that the government is pursuing high-speed rail across Canada, including southwestern Ontario, and said it would work with farmers so the project supports agriculture, adding that the Conservatives oppose the project.Written by AI from the debate.
