Mr. Speaker, early 2022 was fraught with uncertainty for many farmers and they have faced many challenges in planning their operations. Some of those challenges include increased drought and flooding, as well as outbreaks of livestock diseases, such as the avian flu. Can the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food tell the House what is being done to help farmers manage these major risks?

Mr. Speaker, with global supply chains struggling and a war in Ukraine, Canadian agriculture is more important than ever. Farmers in my riding are concerned that the Liberals want to meddle with the Pest Control Products Act, adding more red tape for them to deal with and favouring activism over science-based decisions. Our farmers have always been tremendous stewards of the environment. What makes the NDP-Liberal government, or coalition, think that it has any expertise or right to tell our farmers how to feed the world?

Mr. Speaker, my riding of Guelph continues to see significant growth in green technology and agriculture, sectors that we know are vital to Canada's economic prosperity, through organizations like Innovation Guelph and Bioenterprise. Can the Minister responsible for the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario inform the House about the measures our government is taking to support the economic growth in these sectors while enhancing the lives of those living in Guelph and Wellington County?
