Agriculture Canada needs to be involved with projects that are very long shots. When we look at a very long perspective, and as we tighten the timelines, it needs to be more related to producers.
Genetically modified crops are not getting a very good rap in the public these days, but the reality is that we have a growing world that's very hungry. I personally find that people are becoming more in tune with what it represents and with the opportunities out there to make the crops offer health benefits. We have to be very careful not to turn back on that side of research. Along with the producer groups, we need to work together to make sure the public is educated on the opportunities for the advantages that type of technology can bring.
It would be one area that I would strongly suggest we should keep working on.
