"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"6266243\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I agree with my colleague, as I come from an agricultural riding in Manitoba. I have been so disappointed, as have all of us on this side, by the lack of value, attention and credit given to our agricultural sector in Canada. This includes those who are part of the supply management system, but also livestock producers and grain producers. Every sector of the agricultural industry in Canada has been ignored and disrespected. People have pretended that the sector does not exist and what it contributes does not exist. The Speech from the Throne is another example of that.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6266244\" data-originallang=\"en\">We have to continue to advocate for farmers. The Liberals seem not to have set foot on a farm in many years, and I would invite some of them to visit some rural areas. I know they do not represent those areas, but they need to understand the sacrifices our farmers make in producing food not only for Canada, but for the world, and they do it in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way. They should be congratulated, rewarded and supported instead of ignored.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6266243\" data-originallang=\"en\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, je suis d'accord avec le d\u00e9put\u00e9 puisque je viens d'une circonscription agricole au Manitoba. Je suis d\u00e9\u00e7ue du manque de consid\u00e9ration, d'attention et de valeur accord\u00e9es \u00e0 l'agriculture au Canada, ce qui inclut ceux qui font partie du syst\u00e8me de gestion de l'offre, mais aussi les \u00e9leveurs de b\u00e9tail et les producteurs de grains. Tous les secteurs de l'industrie agricole canadienne ont \u00e9t\u00e9 n\u00e9glig\u00e9s et bafou\u00e9s. On fait comme s'ils n'existaient pas et comme s'ils n'avaient rien \u00e0 offrir. Le discours du Tr\u00f4ne en est encore un exemple. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6266244\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous devons continuer de d\u00e9fendre les int\u00e9r\u00eats des agriculteurs. J'ai l'impression que les lib\u00e9raux n'ont pas mis les pieds dans une exploitation agricole depuis tr\u00e8s longtemps. Je les invite donc \u00e0 faire un tour dans quelques r\u00e9gions rurales. Je suis consciente qu'ils ne repr\u00e9sentent pas ces endroits, mais ils se doivent de comprendre les sacrifices que les agriculteurs acceptent de faire pour produire de la nourriture non seulement pour le Canada, mais pour le reste du monde, tout en adoptant des pratiques \u00e9cologiques et durables. Nous devrions f\u00e9liciter, r\u00e9compenser et soutenir ces travailleurs au lieu de les ignorer. </p>"
