LETTER: Guest column on India’s farm bills was informative

Harjote Sumbal wrote a guest column for the Surrey Now-Leader

The Editor,

Re: “Why Canadians should care about India’s farm bills,” the Now-Leader, March 11.

Please pass along my thanks to your guest columnist Harjote Sumbal for his well-crafted and informative article.

I see he is a second-year law student. His logical and erudite explanation of the issues behind the farmworker protests suggest he has a promising career ahead of him as a politician once he completes his law studies.

I look forward to seeing his name on a ballot here in Surrey a few years down the road.

Terry Lawrence, Surrey
