Mr. Speaker, my colleague from Saint-Lambert has aptly described the many negative repercussions of Bill C-18.
In particular, farmers will be subject to greater risks and uncertainty. Small farms will be impoverished. People on family farms will have to work harder in order to survive. In addition, consumers will pay more for food and the quality of wheat will be lower.
I would like my colleague from Saint-Lambert to explain why the cost of food will increase and the quality of wheat will decrease.
