Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
My first question is for Dr. Buhr.
I'm sorry if I mispronounced your name.
The European Union has a strategic agricultural plan to increase production using half the resources. Clearly, innovation will have to be at the very core of the new Growing Forward plan.
Do you think that Canada could turn to the European plan for inspiration, and do we have the necessary resources at this time to reach such a level of agricultural effectiveness as regards the environment and productivity?
