Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for his question. We are working with the agricultural sector to ensure that farms can make a fair and equitable profit. We have increased the advance payment interest-free limit from $250,000 to $350,000. This will help our farm families across Quebec and Canada.

Mr. Speaker, as the daughter of a farmer, I understand very well the importance of our agricultural sector. I agree with my hon. colleague that our farmers are exceptional. They are very important for our communities and our economy. That is why our government was there during the pandemic. Yes, there was significant spending, but it was essential to support our farmers. We will continue to support them.
