Context: House Hansard - 180 - Apr/19/23
Ms. Andréanne Larouche (Shefford, BQ)
Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his speech in which he talked about the future of farming. This week, the Bloc Québécois has made a point of calling for more help for the agricultural industry, particularly for young farmers. It is important to recognize that, right now, farmers are not doing well from a mental health perspective. One in 10 agricultural businesses are at risk of closing in the next year because of all the problems. How will the member's bill meet the needs of all sorts of farmers, particularly vegetable growers? How will the bill help them to get through this period of inflation, which is so difficult for them and for young farmers in particular?
