CFA strongly believes in a balance between public and private research. The private sector, of course, does significant good research to make sure Canadian farmers are competitive.
We also believe in stand-alone public research that is probably a more long-term investment, or more public interest research that governments are more suited to do. But there's also a very strong role for producer organizations, producer foundations, under the commodity groups, under the Canadian cattle research, pork research, grain varieties research, pulse research. These organizations have done significant amounts of research in new varieties and in finding niche products for their industries, which flow right through to all producers, possibly not just private.
Certainly private industry research is important, but we also believe in the public supporting and helping out with check-off funds for producer organizations to do commodity-specific research as well as fully stand-alone public research.
