With regard to the issue of water use in agriculture, I don't think the problem is price, but rather water contamination. The quantity of products used leads to contamination of the water used for irrigation, and this contaminates rivers.
There's also the fact that farmers cultivate land right up to streams and rivers. They don't respect the riparian strips. Erosion sets in, and a lot of sediment ends up in the St. Lawrence River. This costs Canadians a lot of money, because rivers have to be dredged. We're not taking care of the watershed.
It's with this holistic vision that we appeal to you today. We need to look at things on a Canada-wide scale.
