Since the committee began its work, we have often heard witnesses say that Canada has been late in supporting farmers who are exploring new markets, such as organic farming, or new production methods, which are moving forward because of immigration. We have new markets such as lamb and veal or different kinds of market garden products. So maybe I am reading the budget wrongly, but I do not seem to see any allocations for commercializing and growing those markets. Can you explain the department's strategy in that regard?
