However, too much of the food we produce is processed abroad, and too many Canadians still rely on high\u2011priced imports. Canadian farmers deserve more options for selling their products, and Canadians deserve more choices about where they buy their food.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9416355\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Could the Minister of Finance tell us how the first\u2011ever national food security strategy will help us produce and process more food right here in Canada, so that more Canadian food ends up on our plates and more money\u2014</p>",
