Mr. Speaker, In Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, the father-daughter team at Holdanca Farms is doing something extraordinary. Beyond some fantastic beef cattle they raise, John and Maria have been awarded the Canadian Cattle Association's Environmental Stewardship Award for their care of an entire ecosystem that includes more than 1,000 species across 500 north shore acres. These two farmers insist on long-term, intergenerational thinking, and they are providing us proof that when we commit to protecting things for generations to come, we can build things that truly last.
We need more of this energy. The climate crisis demands this kind of intergenerational thinking. The same is true for health care, housing and energy. In each of these things, we would do well to keep future generations at the centre of our deliberations in this chamber.
