When your government announced the allowance of 3 severances in April I was delighted because it meant as a farmer who is currently taking over our family farm I was able to build and own a house on the property. Then of course the proposal was removed which left me right back at square one – 0 options to live on the farm.

I am currently renting half an hour from the farm. My wife and I are looking to start a family and I am upset that I won't be able to give my kids the same upbringing my parents gave me. Please consider allowing at least 1 severance on the farms to help out people like me.

It would go so far in helping housing supply and barely put a dent in the acreage we farm.
