Thanks very much for taking time to be here, Greg.
There's been a growing concern regarding health, processing of food, the environment. The idea that we need some kind of a national food policy is being discussed across the country. I know that the Canadian Federation of Agriculture is seriously thinking about this. Both our parties here in the opposition have developed papers on this. I've done some consultations across Canada. We believe we need some kind of a Canadian food strategy with the various...the national farmers union, Christian farmers, the federation; everybody seems to be on board with some kind of policy.
I'm wondering, from your perspective is it doable? Have policy discussions been started in this regard? If so, is there a timeline or are consultations planned? Would there be a direction that it might take, balancing our food sovereignty and our trade obligations?
I'm just wondering if this has been discussed, and if so, maybe you could share some information with us.
