Ottawa-The Volkswagen electric battery plant being built with billions of dollars of government assistance near St. Thomas will take 1,500 acres of prime farmland out of production, says Senator Robert Black, chair of the Senate agriculture committee and the driving force behind its study on soil health in Canada.
He told Senator Marc Gold, the government representative in the Senate, that the current government repeatedly talks about the importance and prioritization of agriculture and food security. Then it produces agreements and policies, “which undermine the capabilities and capacities of our processors and producers.”
At the same time, farmers in Eastern Canada paid $34 million in tariffs on imported Russian fertilizer earlier this year, “an essential product needed to feed the country and the world, which was not returned to our farmers. Black asked Gold when the government will “actually prioritize Canadian agriculture and food, stop financially depriving our farmers and stop giving monies to companies that will actively undermine and take away our crucial farmlands?”
