Yes. People who come from abroad have more financial means than we do. The return on farmland assets in Quebec is roughly 7%. The return on the stock market over the past 25 years has not been as good. If I had the money, I would invest in farmland too.
If we were talking about farmers from other countries coming here and integrating into the social fabric of the region, then there would be no problem. However, we are talking about holdings coming here to buy farmland on speculation, that is quite worrisome. This phenomenon is quite widespread throughout Quebec and even more so in western Canada. It is quite worrisome indeed.
