There is an experimental farm in your region, in Normandin. There is also one in the riding of my colleague France Bonsant. In Charlottetown, officials at Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada told us that they had no intention of closing the experimental farms. When I asked a question about retiring researchers—and I think that we already addressed the issue together, Mr. Van Tassel—they said that there was a new generation of researchers.
Now, if we take the example of the experimental farm in Normandin, we might ask ourselves whether researchers will want to continue working in that sector, given that long-term funding might not be adequate for them to do their research. As for the next generation, I wonder if it will want to work here. This is a question I asked myself. It might be more appealing to them to work in other countries where investments in research are much more substantial.
Could you talk to us about the situation where you come from?
