Addressing Food Security and Sovereignty
2010-03-04

 That is what has to happen if we are going to provide the food security and sovereignty that this country needs in the future and the jobs required at the primary production and processing levels and both the input and output levels to allow this country's economy kick into the future. That is what the government must do. I ask the finance minister to get that job done.

The agriculture industry is a complex and multi-level chain comprising of suppliers, farmers, processors, retailers and consumers in Canada and abroad. This industry is a generator of wealth, key to Canada's prosperity.

As Agriculture Critic, I have the opportunity to work with industry, primary producers and Parliament to build a stronger, more vibrant rural Canada and strengthen our farmer's voice in Ottawa.
