It’s always a pleasure when the people from our community from Peel region are here, including Abhishek Jain, Napinderpal, Puneet Sahi, Manu Mahajan and his guest from India, Updeep Singh. Welcome to Queen’s Park.

I was listening to the member from God’s country. It was really good to hear.

Madam Speaker, every time I go and I look, there is a big sign I see: “Farmers feed cities.” They’re not just feeding us; they are being partners in the prosperity of Ontario as well. In Ontario, the agri-food sector is a pillar of economic growth that contributes over $48 billion to Ontario’s GDP and employs one in 10 people in the province’s labour force. We have wonderful PAs to the ministry as well, who are doing an incredible job.

So to the member, I want to ask: Can you help us to understand how this bill will encourage continued growth of this vital industry?
