I really appreciate the comments from the member for Oshawa. My family is from Oshawa, and when I go to visit there, I hear often about the incredible work that you’re doing for the community and how much it’s appreciated.

You were talking about the kangaroo. In Toronto, we had a pair of capybaras that escaped from the High Park Zoo a while ago, and they went gallivanting all over the city. They were spotted in Scarborough and everywhere else before they were finally brought home. You talked about this kangaroo that was on the lam in the ‘Shwa. But there’s another story as well, I understand, about a deer that showed up for work one day. Can you please tell us about the deer that showed up?

I want to thank the member from Nipissing-Pembroke-Renfrew—I probably got that in the wrong order. But anyways, I appreciate your comments today. You are always an entertaining speaker.

You said something, though, that just doesn’t hold up to analysis. You said this government values agriculture and that we are an exporting jurisdiction. Actually, Ontario is not an exporting jurisdiction. Some of the numbers that I’ve come across since I came into this House have actually really concerned me. Ontario is enormous, a million square kilometres, but only 5% of our land is arable. Under the Liberals, the province of Ontario was paving over 180 acres of farmland a day; under this Conservative government, it’s now up to 319 acres of farmland a day. If they keep going at that pace, in 100 years, there will be no more farmland. We import $10 billion more food than we export, and our population is growing by 400,000 a year, so we need to protect our farmland.

The veterinarians are really important, but will your government commit to—
