Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a reminder of the power of continued investment in Canada's rural communities.
I recently had the opportunity to stand alongside Dairy Farmers of Nova Scotia and Taste of Nova Scotia to announce this government's financial support for the Nova Scotia Cheese Trail. This initiative creates real opportunities for family farms and local cheese makers to prosper.
The trail connects people from all backgrounds to the stories behind their food and the communities that make it possible. This is not just economic development; it is community building. It is about ensuring that no matter their postal code, people can experience the spirit of agricultural excellence that makes our country stronger, safer and more resilient. Sounds like a pretty “Gouda” idea to me.
