I have a question for Matthew, to start with.

It's good to hear another great Canadian agriculture story, that we're leading the world in this area.

I want to ask you specifically what needs to be done, in your opinion, to increase the efficiency of technology and innovation transfer? We often see it developed in its own little island or area, and this is inefficient, to say the least. We don't see it actually reaching the farmers. What can be done about that?
