Thank you very much for your presentation.
As you may know, Quebecers are very strong on environmental values. Many farmers in my riding are moving to organic farming for some of their production.
Someone explained to me a while ago that no Canadian industry is developing technologies to produce pesticides that could be classified as organic.
Mr. MacLeod, since Quebec consumers like to buy organic products -- products that are less damageable to the environment since their production standards are very high -- is your industry planning to encourage the development of new technologies that would allow for pesticides to be classified as organic?
The United States is far ahead of Canada on this.
