Mr. Speaker, as the vibrant colours of autumn signal the end of harvest, I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible farmers in Kitchener—Conestoga and across our country, whose dedication helps feed us all.
From the fields of Wellesley and Wilmot to the barns and greenhouses of Woolwich, farmers work tirelessly, feeding our families, fuelling our economy and stewarding the land with care and resilience.
While the fall harvest marks a seasonal milestone for many, the work of farming never truly stops. Whether it is planning, caring for livestock or managing operations, our farmers continue their vital work year-round. Therefore, I thank all our farmers for their hard work, their resilience and their deep care for the land and for us. They make Kitchener—Conestoga proud and Canada strong.
