Preview: The aim of Bill 530 (2020-2021) is to strike a balance between the needs of farmers and efforts to improve farming conditions. While the committee shares the philosophy and objectives of the bill in certain respects, i.e. to seek to achieve better farming conditions while taking into account constraints on farmers and without further stigmatising them, for example by creating a support fund, it disagrees with the means chosen to achieve this objective, considering in particular that a European-wide project is the most appropriate, allowing the avoidance of certain secondary effects.
