My question is to the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
Ontario’s greenhouse-grown fruit, vegetables and flowers account for a significant contribution to Ontario’s agri-food sector. Through implementing new technology and innovation within the sector, Ontario’s greenhouses continue to be at the forefront of the agri-food sector.
Consistent, reliable and premium-quality products continue to put Ontario on the map as a global leader and a universally trusted brand of choice.
The economic activity generated by Ontario’s greenhouses alone contributes more than $2.3 billion to Ontario’s GDP and has created over 28,000 jobs.
Can the minister share what the government is doing to support the growth of this important agri-food business?
