Mr. Chair, I have a couple of questions.
I wasn't quite clear, Mr. Townsend. Are you saying there is a cutback in researchers for the bee industry at both the federal and provincial levels, and that's a problem? You can answer that.
I'll just give my list of questions.
Mr. Townsend, you mentioned enforcement of product coming in. We have another subcommittee on food safety, and several of us here are on it. Can you expand on that a little bit? I ask because one of the areas we are looking at is whether product coming into Canada should have to meet the same standards and conditions of production that Canadian products have to meet.
Mr. Pellerin, I want to congratulate you on your election as president of Canada's biggest farm organization. Although I was at one time in the one in competition with your organization, I will admit it is the biggest.
On the AgriFlexibility funding, there's a huge problem in that the money isn't what the government committed it would be, as André said earlier. What's the impact in terms of being able to have the right kinds of companion programs in the provinces when it's not allowable for either ASRA or RBM in Ontario?
